blasting; thus, the adverse impacts of blasting can be controlled and reduced [6]. Several authors deal with the use of mathematical modeling to predict vibration from blasting while also using elements of artificial intelligence. Such a modeling system has been developed for decades [7,8]. Various tools are used to solve vibration predic-tion.

This study tried to identify the environmental effects of quarrying in the identified quarry sites of Region 1 chosen at random, specifically at a geologic perspective. It further tried to discover the socio-economic benefits they provided to the residents of adjacent and nearby barangays within the provinces of locos Sur, Ilocos Norte, La Union, …

The increase in demand of building stones and construction-grade sand has resulted in aggressive hard rock quarrying in many parts of the world. The problems are to be evaluated in detail for the judicious use of resources on the one hand and ensuring health of the ecosystems on the other. The present study aims to evaluate the impact of …

Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment (LVIA) is described as 'a tool used to identify and assess the significance and effects of change resulting from development both on the landscape as an environmental resource in its own right and on people's views and visual amenity'. LVIAs have been widely used for some time in the …

Environmental sustainability is a growing concern in the quarrying industry. Advanced environmental sensors and monitoring systems help quarries track emissions, air quality, water usage, and noise levels. Real-time data allows operators to adjust operations to minimize environmental impact and comply with regulations.

The impacts on ground-water levels of drawdown at Kraemer Quarry. neighboring wells and testifies to the need for careful evaluation of quarry dewatering proposals and long-term monitoring of the dewatering impacts on the local aquifer. To further evaluate conditions at the Spinler quarry, a three-dimensional model was used. With the quarry …
