In order to give you with the best service, we provide consultancy services for
geophysical site investigations. Unlike other geophysical service providers, we
can assure you that we are totally independent of any geophysical contractors. We
can provide you with totally unbiased and independent advice about the usefulness
and benefits of geophysical ground investigation for your site. We are free to select
the most appropriate geophysical contractor(s) for a job in order to provide you
with the highest-quality data possible and the most applicable results that best
suit your needs.
Our highly-qualified staff are experienced in survey specification, processing
and interpretation of all common geophysical ground investigation methods, including:
- Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR).
- Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) and Vertical Electrical Soundings
(VES).
- Induced Polarisation & Self-Potential techniques.
- Electro-Magnetic (EM) ground conductivity mapping (including airborne
surveys).
- Micro-gravity surveying.
- Magnetic single-sensor and gradiometric surveys.
- Radiometric surveys.
- Seismic reflection (single- and multi-channel, on land and overwater).
- Hydrographic techniques (Multi-beam and dual-frequency echo sounders,
side-scan sonar).
- Seismic refraction .
- Multi-channel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW).
- Continuous Surface Wave (CSW) surveying.
If you would like more details of these techniques, you can download FREE pdf Technical Summary Sheets.
Our approach to data analysis includes the collation of geophysical results with
other geological, environmental and geotechnical information, where appropriate,
to produce a holistic and thorough interpretation. Deliverables can be generated
in a range of formats, including ESRI ArcGIS products and CAD drawings.
Our personnel are experienced in the practical application and integration of
geophysical techniques within the environmental, engineering, groundwater resources
and mineral exploration sectors. We can provide you with a very broad range
of expert services:
- Bespoke site investigation design and specification.
- Preparation of tender and contract documentation.
- Independent contractor procurement.
- Contractor supervision.
- On-site and office-based liaison with client representatives.
- Integration of borehole logs.
- Data processing and analysis.
- Data modelling.
- Fully integrated interpretation and reporting.
- Geotechnical and environmental verification.
- Expert witness.
- Technical training.
- Technical audits of 3rd party reports and datasets, including
reprocessing and re-analysis of legacy geophysical data.
For services for the offshore renewable energy
and marine geohazards sectors please see our Wind
farm geophysics pages.
All survey specifications for the surveys we design more than satisfy the technical
requirements as set out in the Environment Agency Guidance notes (e.g. ‘Groundwater
and Contaminated Land Project: Technical Aspects of Site Characterisation’,
Volume II (of IV) Text Supplements, by W. S. Atkins for the Environment Agency,
HOCO 373, 2000); ASTM guidelines; and the Geological Society/CIRIA guidelines on ‘Geophysics
in engineering investigations’ (2002).
