Dear Elizabeth,
You might first want to determine if protection is necessary. You could
request a study supply data on the type, and amount of explosives
necessary. What types of vibrations will be produced by the blasting, and
what, where, and how the vibrations will effect the structural environment.
These types of study should also suggest effective ways of buffering the
effects of the vibrations.
Good luck,
Tom
