Geophysical Services:-
Geophysical surveys can be deployed to provide engineering and environmental information which could only otherwise be obtained through intrusive inspection or excavation. A full geophysical survey can represent a substantial cost saving when compared to blind site investigation.
Our consultancy services include recommending the most reliable methods for the particular problem, design and review of surveys for tender purposes and also the ability to conduct surveys and analysis.
Although often perceived as a last resort, geophysical methods should be included in the initial project conception as a means to provide wide-area coverage and to indicate areas for traditional trial-pits, boreholes or break-outs. Time and time again we see cases where traditional methods missed targets of concern and in these days of due diligence can you afford not to have the most comprehensive information to hand for your design?
