A kV transmission line supplying electricity to Ipswich ran within 40m of the blast area with the nearest transmission towers m away.

This power transmission corridor is owned by Powerlink, who specified special requirements if blasting was to occur near the lines and towers. Thiess contacted Orica Technical Services for an evaluation of the potential for blasting in close proximity to the transmission towers. Due to the geometry and volume of rock the job was referred to the Quarry Services arm of the Orica business. Orica Quarry Services specialize in hard rock blasting, technology application and vibration and flyrock control.

A site law was developed for the area, and prior knowledge of sustainable vibration levels when blasting next to sensitive structures were incorporated in the blast design.
