Conventional Geophysics Applications
Cavity (void) detection
Natural or anthropogenic cavity (void) detection by the most suitable geophysical method from the surface and in the borehole.
Ground dynamic parameters
In borehole or Surface seismic measurement to obtain Vs30, VS, Vp, and the dynamic elastic module of the subsurface such as Poisson’s ratio, Young’s modulus & Shear Modulus.
Geological model
Application of 2D or 3D geophysical methods to enrich an existing ground model (constructed by geotechnical parameters) with continuous data taking into account the heterogeneities of the subsurface.
Water leakage detection
Implementation of geophysical tracing solutions to detect underground water circulation and water leakage.
Hydrogeophysics
Upgrading of structural geology model (fault, position of stratigraphic layers, etc.) using geophysical methods (2D/3D) to detect and optimize subsurface aquifers exploitation.
Diagnosis of earthworks (excavation and filling)
Application of geophysical imaging adapted to the problem (high performing, monitoring, etc.) to assess the geometry of the structure and its current condition.
Detection of buried objects (structures & archaeological mapping)
In borehole or surface geophysical methods to detect buried structures, foundations, tanks, etc.
Ground improvement
Geophysical measurement before and after the injection process for a qualitative and quantitative evaluation of its effect.
