Ice blasting on the Rideau River in Ottawa Canada. Every year around this time, ice breaking operations begin at Rideau Falls and continue up to the Cummings Bridge. A city crew is in charge of the explosives and safely detonating them. They precut sections earlier and are using a gas powered auger to drill holes in the ice. A company named Blastek installs acoustic and vibration sensors that are set up at key locations in the area to measure these variables. After blowing up ice to a certain point they will bring in the Amphibex, the amphibious excavator ice breaker boat. Check it out in this video I made,

All this work prevents flooding and ice jams in the Spring.
There are dangerous aspects of this job that are very obvious. In 1974 tragedy struck, read about it here ▶ bit.ly/3uEe59S ◀ in this Ottawa Citizen news article. Stay safe out there on the ice if you venture on it.
