In today's globalized world, the importance of internationalization in the field of natural disaster management #trumerschutzbauten and climate change #nagema cannot be overstated. As our planet faces increasingly frequent and severe natural disasters, and the impacts of climate change become more pronounced, it has become imperative for companies operating in this sector to expand their reach beyond national borders. Internationalization offers several key benefits for companies in the field of natural disaster management and climate change. #INTERPRAEVENT2024 #Naturgefahrenrisikomanagements #nagema #trumerschutzbauten

This January, Bill Birch will present our paper titled 'Safeguarding Historic Underground WWII Structures from Surface Quarry Blasting' at the 51st Annual International Society of Explosives Engineers (ISEE) Conference on Explosives and Blasting Technique in Cherokee, North Carolina. In collaboration with Shazad Hosein from Blast Log Ltd, David Jameson from GWP Consultants LLP, Catherine Johnson from Missouri University of Science and Technology, and Rob Farnfield from EPC-UK, this study tackles the challenges of protecting historic underground sites from quarry-induced vibrations. Based on detailed seismograph monitoring and geotechnical assessments, the team presents a beneficial method to minimise blast impact on WWII-era structures used for wartime art storage, preserving their integrity despite quarry proximity. 📅 Date: Friday, 24th January 🕗 Time: 12:00 PM to 12:20 PM 📍 𝗟𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Harrah’s Cherokee Casino Resort, Cherokee, North Carolina For more details about the conference, you can check out the official website at https://bit.ly/4fKui4d Will you be at the conference? Let's connect! 🤝 Feel free to drop questions below or meet Bill at the event for a deeper discussion. #ISEEConference #BlastingTechnology #HeritagePreservation #InnovationInAction

Microtunneling is a versatile tunneling method, capable of working in a variety of ground conditions over long distances — all while maintaining high levels of precision. But how does this trenchless technology actually work? Check out our step-by-step explainer video, which walks you through a typical microtunneling project from start to finish!

Fly rocks in blasting also refer to the rocks or debris that are thrown or ejected during a blasting operation, often landing outside the designated blast area. Fly rocks can be a safety hazard and cause damage to surrounding structures, equipment, or the environment. Causes of fly rocks: Inadequate blast design or planning Insufficient stemming or plugging Incorrect explosive selection or loading Poor rock fragmentation Inadequate safety measures Effects of fly rocks: Safety risks to personnel and nearby communities Damage to surrounding structures, equipment, or vehicles Environmental impact, such as destruction of habitats or pollution Increased cleanup and disposal costs Potential legal and regulatory issues Prevention and control measures: Conduct thorough blast design and planning Use appropriate stemming and plugging materials Select suitable explosives and loading techniques Implement robust safety protocols and monitoring Regularly inspect and maintain equipment and blasting areas Consider using fly rock containment measures, such as blast mats or fly rock catchers Always note, safety and environmental responsibility are crucial in blasting operations.
In the most basic terms, "flyrock" in blasting refers to fragments of rock propelled, ejected or thrown from the blast bench beyond the designated clearance zone. Flyrock poses potential dangers to personnel, equipment, and nearby structures. Flyrock can occur when the explosive force of a blast exceeds the rock mass’s ability to contain it. This can occur due to various factors, such as inadequate blast design, incorrect loading or stemming, excessive explosive charges, or unfavorable geotechnical conditions leading to insufficient confinement of the blast energy. In our line of work at ERG Industrial we frequently work with sites to reduce flyrock - have a look at one of the case studies, where we focused on reducing flyrock by improving energy retention: https://lnkd.in/dxiKjJAX

Bringing 20 years of utility experience in Safety, Project Execution, Estimating, Contracts, Project and Construction management. An out of the box thinker with a passion for innovation.
A great concept in the video. A few years ago, I would have been skeptical of the ability to bring this into a pilot stage anytime soon. With the developments in AI, drones technology and remote connectivity this could be a real game changer for UG programs in areas with existing UG facility conflicts very soon. My question to the utilities- Would you trust this innovation to run over, under or parallel to a critical line with no potholes? As innovation changes the policies of the utilities will have to be ready to not only adapt to the new MOI, also the damage prevention policies.
https://lnkd.in/gtUhbd7j BURROW is an “undergrounding” technology for utility lines that will help prevent catastrophes like the Lahaina, Maui Fires or the California Camp Fire, which were caused by vulnerable overhead power lines. BURROW is X-ray vision for horizontal drilling for utilities.

The ability to monitor large areas for slope stability and deformation is key for risk mitigation, especially in mining projects where safety is critical. A number of solutions for monitoring at different scales have emerged; how do stakeholders evaluate and combine these technologies for effective risk-mitigation actions? Come join 3vG's Jon Leighton and GroundProbe's Antonio C. Rocha, MSc in a live webinar as they discuss the utilization of ground-based radar and satellite-based InSAR as complementary tools in a comprehensive geotechnical monitoring plan. In this webinar, you will discover how to maximize the benefits of combining these two technologies. By merging satellite-based InSAR with ground-based radar, those involved will have the opportunity to utilize the advantages of both technologies in order to improve their monitoring choices.
