The contractors have blasted quite a bit of rocks too.
Back in winter, I could hear occasional blasting during work.

That hill has some complex geology. You can see one type of rock on top another. (It's called a geological unconformity.) That's why the contractors have to bench the upper layer of rock cut.
There's another development on the other side of the hill facing Centrum. The rocks there are quite weathered. The water mark is visible on the rocks.
