Blast & vibration Monitoring
Blast and vibration monitoring solutions for mining, quarry, construction and infrastructure projects. Includes PPV and airblast overpressure monitoring with fixed and portable systems, rental options, and real-time compliance reporting.
Blast & Vibration Monitoring
Blast and vibration monitoring measures ground and structural vibrations generated by blasting, construction, demolition, piling, quarrying, and mining activities. It is used to assess impacts on surrounding buildings, infrastructure, and sensitive environments, and ensure compliance with project and regulatory vibration limits.
Monitoring focuses on peak particle velocity (PPV), airblast overpressure, frequency, duration, and vibration direction to accurately quantify impact and performance.
Importance of Blast & Vibration Monitoring
Health, safety and amenity
Excessive vibration and airblast can cause disturbance, nuisance, sleep disruption, and in some cases structural damage. Monitoring helps manage and reduce these risks.
Environmental protection
Blasting and construction vibration can affect surrounding ecosystems and sensitive receptors. Monitoring supports responsible project delivery and environmental management.
Structural integrity
Nearby buildings, utilities, and infrastructure must be protected from excessive vibration. Monitoring ensures vibration levels remain within safe and approved limits.
Regulatory compliance
Most mining, quarry, and construction projects are required to meet strict vibration and airblast criteria under environmental approvals and licensing conditions. Monitoring provides verified compliance data and reporting.
Operational optimisation
Blast and vibration data can be used to refine blasting designs, improve efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and optimise construction methods.
Continuous Monitoring
Continuous blast and vibration monitoring uses fixed or portable sensor systems to collect real-time data over short or long-term periods. Systems can be configured to provide live alerts when vibration or airblast thresholds are exceeded, enabling immediate response and mitigation.
This supports compliance reporting, risk management, and long-term performance analysis across active sites.
Fixed & Portable Monitoring Systems
AQMS Group supplies both fixed and portable blast and vibration monitoring systems to suit project requirements.
- Portable systems for short-term or campaign monitoring
- Fixed installations for long-term or permanent compliance monitoring
- Short and long-term blast monitoring rental options

- Automated SMS and email alerts
- Cloud-based reporting and data storage
Systems can be supplied as equipment-only rental or fully managed monitoring solutions.
Applications
- Mining and quarry blasting
- Civil construction and infrastructure projects
- Demolition and structural removal
- Piling and ground improvement works
- Rail and tunnelling projects
- Boundary and community monitoring
Summary
Blast and vibration monitoring is essential for managing environmental impact, ensuring structural safety, and maintaining regulatory compliance during construction, mining, and blasting activities.
