This comprehensive text explores the technologies and developments in excavations for any type of surface or underground excavation. The first several chapters cover unit operations, including drilling, explosives and blasting, mucking, haulage, hoisting, and supports and reinforcement. The book then describes excavation techniques for various operations, such as tunneling, raising, sinking, drifting, stoping, quarrying and surface mining, underground mining, pillar blasting, and liquidation. It also examines the design, planning, and analysis of excavations as well as the construction of surface and subsurface excavations, such as caverns. Case studies focus on heavy underground blasting during pillar recoveries.

This book has some great information on excavation methods and equipment, but I found some sections a bit too technical for my needs. I was expecting simpler explanations for some of the methods. Still, it's a solid resource for professionals in the field.

Disappointed with the content
Honestly, I was expecting a lot more from this book. The details on techniques were sparse and I felt like it lacked depth. Some diagrams were hard to follow too. I wouldn’t recommend it if you’re looking for something comprehensive.

Great resource for excavation techniques
I picked up this book on excavation methods for a project I'm involved in. It covers a range of techniques and equipment used for both surface and underground jobs. The explanations are clear and really informative, making it a valuable addition to my construction library.
