Criterium – Dudka Engineers performs pre- and post-blast inspections throughout Vermont and Eastern Massachusetts. If a blasting project is planned near your property, it’s time to take a close look to identify cracks in foundations, slab, walls, floors, and ceilings – most of which exist from seasonal changes, age, and normal wear and tear.
Commercial explosives and the blasting industry are regulated by a number of state and federal agencies. The limits set for blasting noise and vibration are conservative. These limits are below the threshold of where damage is known to occur. Although, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t hire an independent party to look at your home.
A pre-blast inspection is an important tool that provides an inventory of any existing conditions of a structure. During a pre-blast inspection, our engineers perform a thorough visual inspection to document the interior and exterior condition of the property.
A post-blast inspection is identical to the inspection performed before blasting. Post-blast inspections establish if changes in the property condition could have occurred and document them in a detailed report.
As licensed Professional Engineers who have inspected thousands of structures, we bring third-party independence and an objective professional evaluation to what can lead to disagreements between property owners and blasting contractors.
