Geophysical surveys should be a routine part of most site investigations and often represent the only way of getting total coverage for what lies within the subsurface. The points below outline the clear advantages of using our services... Low Cost - often less than £1,000 ($1,400) will cover the costs for a typical small site. The value of the data acquired combined with the reduced costs from being able to optimally design an invasive investigation easily exceed the original outlay - not to mention the legal implications of failing to use all the common tools for site investigation available. Rapid Coverage - Up to 2 hectares of land can be typically surveyed in one day. If surveys are carried out along profiles, then up to 5km can be acquired depending on method No exposure to buried hazards - because geophysics is non-invasive, operators or people on site Minimal Surface Disturbance - again, since little or no ground penetration is required, the surface is not disrupted which is ideal in urban areas, highways or landscaped areas. Easy to Integrate - We take special care to present our findings in a format that can be easily understood and integrated by non-geophysical specialists. Thus data is presented as scale engineering sections or annotated plans. Integrated Capability - We own all our own equipment which enables us to arrive on site and select the most suitable method to use. What if it doesn't Work? We understand that some customers may be wary of using geophysics - either because they have had a bad experience in the past or they feel they don't want to take any risks. Consequently we undertake to offer a competitive price that fits in with a site investigation budget and if, due to various limiting factors on the survey, the data is not useful we will charge a reduced fee and issue a short report explaining why the application was unsuitable. This approach has proven very popular in the past with many innovative customers who use geophysics routinely to investigate the subsurface.
