Job Profile  Rocky Ripper Rocky Ripper   Your goal is to dig 12' deep, 14' wide and 40' long and to install a Controlled Environmental Vault (CEV). This sounds like a daunting task in itself. When you are digging in solid rock, the task is almost insurmountable. It takes a heavy-duty excavator to dig in rock and not just any bucket will do. A special bucket designed just for rock, requires frequent maintenance and periodic removal and replacement of the "rock teeth."
