May 2023 – After persistent complaints that blasting operations from a nearby mine in a rural location were destroying residential dwelling structures, Pison Consulting was engaged to measure vibration levels from the mine. Pison deployed its experts, who set up state-of-the-art machinery that monitors both vibration and sound levels from mines. This was a relief to the residents because the experts from Pison were willing to listen to their complaints and were seen constantly measuring the blasting impact levels for extended periods. Pison produced an independent report which showed that the company largely met acceptable vibration levels, though there were days when noise and vibration levels exceeded these thresholds. The mining company accepted responsibility for the anomaly and agreed to use less destructive blasting methods and to continue monitoring the impact in future.
