Tony Zoitsas - B.Sc (Hons) - Vibration/Blast Engineer
Tony Zoitsas graduated with an Honours degree in Applied Geology from
the University of South Australia, specialising in engineering geology
and rock mechanics. Tony joined the Blastronics consulting group in 1996
where he worked on numerous projects in surface and underground mining,
quarrying and construction industries. Projects undetaken both locally
and internationally included assessment and optimisation of blasting practices,
control of environmental impacts from blasting activities, and the establishment
of environmental monitoring programs. He also worked closely with extractive
associations in assessing the impacts of environmental compliance legislation.
Tony has also worked closely in the use, development and sales of in-house monitoring instrumentation. This includes vibration and air overpressure monitors, velocity of detonation equipment, and recent developments in measuring dynamic effects of blast vibration across discontinuities and structural cracks.
