Blasting near sensitive structures demands precision, careful planning, and adaptability. In this exclusive ISEE Knowledge Exchange Webinar, Jon Booker of Kemano Construction Ltd. will share how these challenges were successfully managed during close proximity blasting along an active highway in British Columbia’s Lower Mainland. Learn how crews maintained production under strict PPV limits near heritage structures and critical utilities, while adapting to rapidly changing urban geology.
Jon will walk through the real-world considerations that allowed blasting operations to remain efficient, safe, and precise, including the use of non-electric initiation systems for controlled results.
How blasting operations can be safely conducted near utilities and heritage structures
