GeoVoyager: A Collaboration with the Royal Society and Cowbridge School
We’re pleased to announce a partnership with Cowbridge School for an innovative educational project called GeoVoyager. The collaboration is made possible thanks to a STEM Partnership Grant from The Royal Society, the oldest scientific institution in continuous existence since 1660. … Read More
Karst Geology: Void detection & Karst Mapping using Geophysics
TerraDat is regularly contacted by ground engineers asking about our void detection surveys using geophysics. The benefits of our geophysical surveys in terms of maximum area coverage and minimal ground disturbance provide an ideal solution. The best geophysical methods for … Read More
How TerraDat’s work is helping monitor climate change
Twenty years ago, geophysics specialists at TerraDat became involved in a major pan-European project to measure the impact of climate change on permafrost in the mountains of Europe. The PACE (Permafrost And Climate in Europe) Project began monitoring a large … Read More
Shallow Geophysics for Transmission Cable Route Characterisation
Shallow geophysics plays a crucial role in characterizing the subsurface for transmission cable routes, offering significant advantages to transmission teams working on energy infrastructure projects. By employing non-invasive geophysical techniques, energy providers can optimize cable route planning, reduce environmental impact, … Read More

How can geophysical techniques be used to investigate and monitor leaking dams?
Dams are vital structures that contribute to vital infrastructure including drinking water, crop irrigation, and hydroelectric power. These structures, often over a century old are also put under huge stress by the large quantities of water they retain as well … Read More
Experienced Ground Radar (GPR) Company
TerraDat has been a GPR survey company since the technique evolved to a level where it could be applied to a wide range of applications over 20 years ago. Because the GPR method involves analysis of wave-form data, our experience … Read More
Magnetics
The magnetic survey technique is based on mapping localised variations in the Earth’s magnetic field caused by sub-surface magnetic materials, which range from naturally occurring magnetic minerals to man-made ferrous objects. This leads to a wide range of applications, from … 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
