Service Provided GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY
Cost-effective site characterization, monitoring, and geological mapping
Seismic surveys use a physical energy source to transmit elastic waves through the ground. The speed and path of the waves is determined by the density and elasticity of the ground. By analysing the speed and nature of the responses, a model of the sub-surface layer velocities can be produced.
Geophysical method of subsurface detection that sends electromagnetic pulses through the soil that reflect back any significant changes in soil caused by the presence of pits or structures, etc. (Encyclopedia of Archaeology, 2008)
The velocity model can assist in identifying or determining
- Geological Sequences and Structures
- Depth to Bedrock
- Rock Quality
- Rippability
- Ground Water
- Soil Stability
- Earthquake Resilience
Civiltec provides services on several geophysical methods
Civiltec Testing Services uses the latest ABEM TERRALOC PRO 2 technology for the Seismic Refraction Survey, Seismic Reflection Survey, Seismic Downhole Test and Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW). On the other hand, for resistivity survey, ABEM TERRAMETER LS2 will be used.
