The art of blasting has become science. A well-planned and competently designed shot is safe, efficient, and cost-effective. Dr. Walter & Associates personnel are trained to evaluate an existing blast plan or create a new plan if requested.

Existing blast plans can be evaluated prior to or after the shot. Referencing a blast plan to the actual rock breakage and vibration patterns can make the difference in damage claim litigation. Third party plan evaluation by Dr. Walter & Associates will maximize blast results and minimize negative effects.

Blast evaluation and planning encompasses the site specific seismic and acoustic considerations, as well as the physical and operational parameters of the project.

Dr. Walter & Associates has over 50 years experience in shot design, including surface blasting, tunnel blasting, construction blasting, demolition, and more.
