monitoring.
Everything we know about measuring a blast, in the order you need it. Start with a moving picture, finish reading a real record.
I'm new to this
Five short pages with a moving picture on each. Twenty minutes, no maths first.
Start the conceptsI'm setting up a unit
Place it, set the trigger, know what it will do when the shot fires.
Open the guidesI need to check a number
PPV, g, distance, a word on a report. Get the answer and get back to work.
Open the calculatorFollow a path
Understand a vibration report
Read PPV, g and dominant frequency on a real record and know what they mean.
Set up your first ViB
From the box to a good first record, with the trigger you meant to set.
Design a quieter blast
Lay out a bench, load a hole, time the sequence, and know how sure the firing times are.
Predict the vibration
From the MIC to a site law with its P95 band, ending with a whole blast read on one clock.
Pick a topic
Vibration monitoring
What the ground does when a blast fires, how a unit records it, and how to read the numbers.
Displacement
How far the ground moved from rest — usually a fraction of a millimetre.

StartSetting a ViB up for a blast
Pick the job, read the numbers it needs, and know what the unit will do when the shot fires.
StartVibration calculator
Estimate PPV, acceleration, safe distance and maximum charge from the scaled-distance law.
Open the calculatorVelocity of detonation
How fast the explosive burns down the hole, why it matters, and how to measure it.
Compliance and limits
Standards, limits, reports and the arithmetic that turns a record into a verdict.
