Have a Question?

  • Specialized methods like electromagnetic induction and electrical resistivity are essential when standard techniques reach their depth or resolution limits, particularly for complex contamination mapping, deep utility detection, or challenging geological conditions. Our multi-method approach provides comprehensive site characterization when single-technology solutions prove insufficient for critical infrastructure decisions.

  • Our specialized technologies complement primary assessment methods by providing critical data for complex scenarios—such as using electromagnetic conductivity to map subsurface contamination affecting foundation stability, or employing PSPA systems for detailed pavement analysis where standard methods show anomalies. This integrated approach ensures comprehensive understanding of infrastructure condition and risks.

  • By deploying the optimal combination of advanced geophysical methods, we typically reduce overall investigation costs by 40-60% compared to traditional drilling and sampling programs while providing superior data coverage. Early identification of subsurface issues prevents costly surprises during construction and enables more accurate project budgeting and risk assessment.
