Some other peaceful applications of explosives

Among various applications of explosives to engineering work such as tunnel and road building, water front, harbour and river regulation etc., explosive working of metals was recently added to the list of peaceful uses of explosives [97]. 

Another application is in geological investigation by seismographic methods, much used in the search for underground sources of liquids, such as oil. 

These applications, which form the subject matter of specialist books, will not be discussed in the present work.
