Ground Penetrating Radar
Geohazards, Inc., uses the modern GSSI SIR-2000 and GSSI SIR-3000 digital ground penetrating radar systems with a variety of antennas to maximize depth and resolution capabilities. The radar system is employed to conduct reconnaissance surveys seeking evidence of near-surface instability, cavities, or previous excavation activities. Buried tanks, utility systems, debris, or other solid objects are also detected.
Electrical Resistivity
Geohazards, Inc., uses Wenner Array Sounding Procedures to determine relative electrical resistivity values for materials throughout approximately 100 feet depth. Interpretations of the data yield assignments of rock type and anomalous conditions such as cavities or raveling activity. Use of a Lee-directional procedure allows spatial location of anomalous values. Pole-dipole procedures are also used to portray the physical extent of anomaly sources. Results can be depicted in three-dimensional cut-away models.
Electromagnetic Surveys
Electromagnetic surveys are conducted utilizing a variety of instruments such as the Geonics EM-31/EM-33 and the GSSI Profiler EMP 400. This practical exploration technique is extremely effective in yielding recognition of buried metallic or highly conductive objects or materials.
