Optimising blasting productivity in constrained environments.
Vibration and airblast control.
Vibration and airblast control.
Quarries, by necessity, are located in urban areas in close proximity to people and property. Adhering to local air overpressure and blast-induced ground vibration limits is therefore crucial in enabling a quarry to maintain their licence to operate. To assist our customers in meeting their environmental obligations, we have developed several industry leading prediction tools for environmental control, as well as the tools required to measure these blasting impacts, such as ENVIROTrack™.
