EPC Metrics is the standalone vibration monitoring arm of EPC-UK, a leading UK force in the field of commercial explosives and blasting services.
The remote blast vibration monitoring service uses state-of-the-art fixed monitoring stations to facilitate the immediate access of blast vibration data.

The Platform Interactive software suite is a bespoke web platform designed specifically for the management of blast vibration data. It includes options for email and text message notification.
Full sensor histories for each monitoring station can be viewed with an online preview of vibration waveforms and access to the original seismograph files in addition to event reports. Individual events can also be assigned to a Blast ID facilitating easy cataloguing and identification of data.

Distribution is to decision makers and professionals working in quarries and mines across the globe, including mineral planning departments, contractors, and suppliers of mining and quarrying equipment.
