Services
Seismic Surveys, Inc. provides a full range of high-quality geoscience consulting services to customers in the engineering, construction, mining, demolition and explosives industries.
Prior to the start of any vibration producing activities, customers count on Seismic Surveys to make certain all of the important benchmarks, including pre-condition surveys, seismic and sound level studies, and vibration prediction and damage control investigations, have been fully documented.

A pre-construction survey serves to document pre-existing cracks that could become the subject of concern or a claim after construction begins.
The survey serves as a baseline for monitoring any potential construction impacts on the structure and to identify potential structural conditions that might make the structure more sensitive to vibration effects.
Ground vibrations and air overpressures from blasting and other heavy construction sources are the cause for concern on many projects that take place in congested areas.
Good blast design can control the level of vibrations and airblast, but not stop them.
Therefore, you should not be surprised if you feel or hear a blast.
The vibration you may notice from a blast is typically comparable to the sound and vibration a home experiences through normal use (door slam, etc.).
The suddenness of an unexpected blast may make the vibrations seem more severe than they really are.
Weather conditions, such as high humidity or the presence of cloud cover, can cause the airblast from a blast to seem more severe than it would on a day when the humidity is low and there is a lack of cloud cover.

The pre-construction survey is a good public relations tool for educating neighbors about a project.
Vibration or noise the neighbor may perceive as detrimental to their property, in our experience, will cause the owner to inspect their home more closely, causing them to find cracks they believe are new, yet pre-date the construction activities.
