3D Geophysics Data Plot

3D Geophysics Data Plot

TerraDat is a European leader in state-of-the-art non-invasive Geophysical Site Investigations, Geological Mapping and 3D Geodetic Laser Scanning.

We have extensive experience in all areas of subsurface mapping in relation to the Geotechnical, Civil Engineering, Environmental Waste Management, Groundwater and Mineral Industries

Our services are used by public sector and commercial organisations to gain an in-depth understanding of the subsurface to reduce the risk of exposure to buried hazards and optimise budgets.

In addition to our geophysical survey capabilities, we have a specialist survey division for creation of 3-dimensional models using photogrammetry. Applications include heritage building models, forensic crime and accident scene reconstructions and geotechnical mapping.

TerraDat is now offering an exciting new service involving the installation and management of a novel ground displacement and structural monitoring. This has applications in slope stability monitoring, civil structure (roads, railways, tunnels etc.) monitoring and in pre-empting geohazards. The system uses a flexible array of multiple gravity sensors that are able to output their absolute 3D position in real time.

Permafrost that holds Europe’s highest mountain ranges together is slowly melting, threatening widespread devastation within the next few decades. Foundations of cable car stations face collapse; mountain slopes, held together by frozen soil are likely to be swept down valleys; and rock faces will disintegrate.
Already, several recent Alpine disasters, including the avalanches that killed more than 50 people at the Austrian resort of Galtur in 1999, are being blamed on the melting of permafrost.

TerraDat is part of a team of scientists who have been monitoring the melting of permafrost in Europe’s alpine regions for the E.U. and Swiss Government in a research project called PACE, Permafrost and Climate in Europe. The experience and innovations developed in this project are available commercially through TERRADAT and its associates.
