Bolting Bluestone/basalt 10-May-2012 At 2:48:59 PM Pat B

I know this should probably come under the 'Safer Cliffs' forum, but I don't have access to that forum and the bluestone I want to bolt is actually not natural but in suburbia. A beautiful 7 metre tall retaining wall for a bridge in my home town. There are already two routes bolted with two carrots each and a natural line that goes up a "naturally" formed crack in the middle of the wall.
I plan to grid bolt the wall so that we can play/train/climb this awesome crimpy rock. I have 90mm double-collar expansion bolts with fixe hargers. Does anyone know if these are too short? Had any experience bolting basalt? Lots of it in Victoria, but not much climbed on
