Blasting being a primary operation in mining, quarrying and construction work, needs to be conducted as safely as possible.

How does a pre-blast survey protect your overall business?
Pre-Blast Surveys are a valuable and essential part of any construction project. While often required by local and state regulatory officials and per project specification, these surveys are essential to contractors involved in all aspects of the construction industry.
Preparations for some construction operations may require rock excavation by means of explosive blasting. Pre-Blast surveys assist clients in minimizing complaints and prevent unwarranted damage claims and potential litigation. A major blasting claim results in the delay of a project and the project proponents may be forced to redesign the project and lose some valuable space to avoid nuisance and the delay. Bad publicity from a lawsuit can negatively impact a company’s reputation. Also, employees of project proponents often have to invest a substantial amount of time participating in defence of the claim. Taking into account the above considerations, it is clear that claims for blasting damages, with or without merit, incur substantial costs for the entities involved.
