Speaker(s): Travis Davidsavor

Petroleum pipeline companies often impose very conservative vibration limits which must be observed during blasting. The effective use of strain gages and seismographs allowed the pipeline company to better understand actual pipeline stresses during blasting which then facilitated effective and efficient completion of adjacent pipeline replacement that required rock blasting.
