In cities like Riyadh and Jeddah, you can't just blow things up anymore. Blasting bans are getting stricter across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), forcing contractors to find a safer way to move rock. At Expandag, we’ve seen that the most reliable method isn't just one tool—it’s a "Drill & Crack" system that handles the desert heat without slowing down the site.
First, get the holes right: Using the TY24C in the Desert
If your drilling is slow, the whole project stalls. The TY24C Sinker Drill has become the workhorse for Saudi quarrying because it's light enough for one man to handle but has enough punch for hard granite.
One thing we always tell our KSA clients: Dust and heat kill tools. We supply Tapered Rods and Q6/Q7 Bits with extra-hard tungsten carbide. These are specifically heat-treated so they don't lose their edge when the rock face temperature hits 50°C.
Situation A: Need raw speed? Use the RB777
When you're tearing up asphalt or reinforced concrete foundations for a new highway, you need impact. The RB777 Jackhammer is what we recommend for fast-track roadwork. It’s a 100% Toku-compatible breaker that doesn't overcomplicate things—it just hits hard and keeps going.
Situation B: Near hospitals or pipelines? Use 120MPa Chemical Agents
In "No Vibration" zones—like working right next to a high-pressure gas line or a residential hospital—impact tools are too risky. Here, you use Soundless Cracking Powder. You drill the pattern with your TY24C, mix the slurry, and let chemistry do the work. It builds up 120 MPa of pressure and snaps the rock from the inside. No noise, no fly-rock.
⚠️ Field Advice for KSA Heat:
To prevent steam blow-outs in 40°C weather, use our HSCA-1 (High-Temp) grade. Pro tip: Always mix with chilled water and pour before 8:00 AM while the rock mass is still cool from the night.

Project FAQ for Saudi & Middle East Markets
Q: Can I really use HSCA when the KSA heat hits 45°C?
A: Yes, but you must use the high-temperature formula (HSCA-1). We also advise our clients in Riyadh and Dubai to use ice water for mixing and to shade the boreholes to keep the reaction controlled.
Q: Does the RB777 handle C50 reinforced concrete?
A: The RB777 is designed for exactly this. It delivers high-frequency impacts that fracture the concrete matrix away from the rebar, making it much faster to clear bridge decks or urban foundations.
Q: How do you handle shipping to Dammam or Jeddah?
A: We ship bulk orders directly from our factory to all major ports in the GCC. All mining tools and chemical agents come with full MSDS certification for smooth customs clearance.
