Geophysics for Mapping Geology along Pipeline Routes
Pipelines and cable routes present a set of unique developmental and geotechnical challenges. TerraDat has designed an integrated survey approach, providing data useful to all stages of the project design. Archaeological assessments and UXO detection: Due to the large distances … Read More
Brownfield Site Investigation using Geophysics
Most former industrial sites have a legacy of buried structural hazards and contamination. Geophysical surveys can detect buried targets without the need to excavate. Many industrial contaminants, such as salinisation by acids and hydrocarbon plumes, can leave a significant geophysical … Read More
Crosshole Seismics
Seismic methods can provide detailed information about rock properties and geological structure between boreholes. Fewer boreholes are needed to achieve a continuous picture of the subsurface, thereby reducing overall costs and the risk of missing target features. Borehole seismic methods … Read More
