Geophysical Surveys
By means of Ground Penetrating Radar, Electromagnetics, Electrical Resistivity and Seismic Surveyng
Application in Geology
- Examination of geological conditions;
- Examination of haphazard geological processes and
phenomena e.g. sinkholes, soil slips, floating earth,
zones of rock fracture, etc.
- Mapping mineral deposit formations of the near-surface
section (peat diggings, construction materials, etc.);
- Locating borders of congealed and non-congealed
ettle on maps and cross-sectional views.
Application in Geotechnics
- Examination of artificial surfaces e.g. highways,
runways, etc.
- Examination of railway subgrades;
- Examination of buildings and structures;
- Detection of subsurface utilities.
Application in Hydrology and Hydrogeology
- Examination of water areas within the framework of geological
and ecological surveying for construction sites of
bridges and water-passes (mapping bed profiles and
differentiating sediments on the bed or bottom of a body of
water);
- Finding thickness of ice;
- Finding level, flow direction and infiltration rates of
subsurface waters;
- Detection of suprapermafrost and infrapermafrost
waters.
Application in Archeology
- Mapping embedded foundations and walls of ancient
settlements;
- Detection of archeological objects.
Application in Geoecology
- Mapping soil oil-pollution;
- Mapping buried parts of landfills for household and
technical waists;
- Finding thickness of sediments on the bed or bottom of
a body of water;
- Assessing amount of garbage on the bed or bottom of
a body of water; detection of sunken objects.
