Blast Plan Review and
Monitoring Plan Development

Seismic Surveys provides estimates of blast, construction, vibration, movement and noise effects. We also provide plans for monitoring and controlling these effects. We can meet your needs when specifications require a third-party review of your blast plan or seismic records.

Why Are Blast Plan Reviews Important?

This data is essential for a contractor, developer, or owner to plan and monitor their operations for positive community relations and to minimize the risk of unwarranted claims or potential damage.  Supporting the contractor through review of their plan for conformance with regulatory compliance, generally accepted blasting practice, preparation of performance specifications, and plan to monitor and modify their operations to mitigate risks to adjacent structures.

How Does Monitoring Plan Development Work?

The safe execution of construction, demolition, or mining close to existing structures requires analysis of site-specific variables and planning before arriving at the site, even during the bidding/negotiation process. The cautious contractor must understand the fundamentals of vibrations, including the type of proposed construction operation or blasting and the potential impacts on structures, people, and soils nearby the site.

 

Monitoring of existing structures is a necessity in today’s litigious environment. Monitoring enables compliance with project specifications and, even more importantly, provides a tool to protect the contractor and project partners from unwarranted claims and to minimize the risk of causing damage.

 

Seismic Surveys develops a site-specific program to evaluate potential vibrations before construction and monitor existing structures before, during, and after construction. This program often includes pre- and post-condition inspection, movement monitoring, and vibration monitoring of surrounding structures within a specified radius of potential impact around the site.
