If it remained upright after the blast, which it almost always did, the inference was that there were no vibration problems. read more
A guide for users of seismographs equipped with tri-axial geophones
When undertaking civil engineering works that create vibration, for example: piling, compaction, breaking and demolition, it is good practice and may be necessary to show compliance with conditions by monitoring ground-borne vibration. This is achieved using a seismograph in order to prevent damage to structures or nuisance to people...click to read full article
