Ground locations. Sensors were mounted at several locations on the promontory slope to gauge the response of the escarpment to the test blasts. The concern focused on the stability of the slope, especially the top thin layer of soil. Past soil slides had left areas void of green vegetation. Twenty-four subsurface sensors were also grouted into the bedrock at eight locations between the two blast sites and the Centre Block and Library to deter• mine the attenuation rate for blast• induced vibrations within the bedrock.
