Geophysics offers a rapid, non-invasive way of characterising the ground and can help ensure optimum targeting of key sub-surface features during intrusive investigations.
Various methods of geophysics can be utilised including:
-
Seismic
- Resistivity/conductivity
- Gravity
- Electromagnetic
- Magnetics
- Ground probing radar
There are numerous applications including:
- Mapping underground workings / voids or obstructions
- Strata characterisation and bedrock profiling
- Landfill characterisation
- Contamination plume delineation
- Locating buried utilities
- UXO detection
