WBRE has posted that it was dynamite for clearing land. I don't know if that was it, unless they used a lot?

They agree laying some new pipelines, I'm guessing that but it was definitely an explosion

Fairly small blasting in the ground can travel very far depending on the geology. I have no idea if that was the case here. Setting off explosives in holes with sensors over fairly large areas is actually an engineering method to measure rock and such. Although most places don't let us do that. We have to hit a metal plate with a big hydraulic hammer instead. If they were using it to clear rock it would generally be a much bigger blast.
