This means detonating explosives, drilling test wells, building roads, etc., without regard to the impact on the land surface owner.
Borglum's technique involved blasting away much of the rock with explosives, drilling a large number of closely spaced holes, and then chipping the remaining rock away until the surface was smooth.

Martin continued to look explosive in drills and runs with balance and vision.
The Adair teams completed more than 1,000 assignments internationally through using explosives and drilling mud and concrete.
She said that while Colorado had experienced several earthquakes close to Monday's size in recent decades — a magnitude 5.3 near Denver in 1967 and a magnitude 5.7 in the state's northwest corner in 1973 — both of those quakes were ultimately determined to have been caused by human activity, from explosives or drilling.
In this study, a blast fragmentation Monte Carlo-based simulator, based on the Kuz Ram fragmentation model, has been developed to predict the entire fragmentation size distribution, taking into account intact and joints rock properties, the type and properties of explosives and the drilling pattern.
Here each cycle involves drilling, loading explosive, blasting, ventilating fumes, and excavation of the blasted rock (called mucking).
These reviews show that, while drilling and explosive technologies have drastically improved since 1850, current drift advance rates in the Canadian metalliferrous mining industry have either remained stagnant or dropped below the1960 advance rate levels and in comparison to advance rates in civil tunnelling.
This paper critically reviews the developments in tunnelling and mine drift development rates with advances in drilling and explosives technologies.
