Blast Monitoring

 

Blast Monitoring Solutions

We supply a fully-integrated hosted package which combines robust in-field blast monitors with comprehensive web-based software. This ensures 100% data capture and dynamic triggering.

We also take care of the day-to-day monitoring so that you can reduce site management activities and costs.

Blast monitoring packages are available for long-term rental or purchase.  Our trained staff also manage the provision of blast data remotely.

The system offers:

  • Total capture of all blast events
  • A variety of geophones - one that reads over 100mm/s
  • Hosted monitoring
  • Web-based data access
  • Dynamic triggering
  • Data validation and reporting
  • Fixed and portable versions.
