If the engineer is expected to dig a trench quickly, a few sticks of dynamite placed in a straight line and connected to a detonating cord are used and within a matter of minutes the trench is dug with a minimum of physical exertion. If the engineer must dig separate holes for certain projects he can use a shaped charge. With this explosive he will quickly have the desired number of holes.
