BlastWorks, LLC was founded to develop practical, physics-based technologies that improve safety, measurement accuracy, and decision-making in complex environments. Our work focuses on understanding how forces act within structures, materials, and systems—and turning that understanding into usable tools.
We operate at the intersection of structural engineering, blast analysis, signal processing, and biomechanics, with solutions designed to move from theory into real-world application.
BlastWorks focuses on bringing ideas to market through collaboration.
Rather than manufacturing at scale internally, we seek:
Our goal is to ensure that each technology is developed and implemented with the right expertise and distribution channels.
BlastWorks is expanding beyond its origins in blasting and structural engineering into broader applications where force measurement and analysis are critical.
Key areas of growth include:
We are particularly focused on extending our technologies into new domains where existing measurement methods are limited or incomplete.
BlastWorks develops patent-driven technologies, analytical methods, and software tools designed to measure force, detect damage, and improve safety across a range of applications.
Our core innovations include:
Rather than focusing on large-scale manufacturing, BlastWorks brings these innovations to market through collaboration and integration. Our technologies are designed to be:
Decades of consulting in mining, tunneling, and demolition, offering tailored solutions for complex blast operations.
Cutting-edge technologies like wavelet transforms and strain monitoring, revolutionizing safety and performance in blasting.
Providing precise, real-time data for accurate blast timing, vibration control, and structural health monitoring.
Founder & Chief Innovator
Dr. Douglas Anderson founded BlastWorks in 2013, leveraging over 40 years of consulting experience in mining, tunneling, and demolition industries. With a PhD in Geophysics, he pioneered the signature hole method and developed the wavelet transform technology, both of which have significantly advanced blast vibration control and structural monitoring solutions.
