Applications

Geophysical tools have been used for years to locate unknown buried tanks, drums, and other objects, or properly delineate the depth and size of objects at known locations. A combination of at least two geophysical methods typically provides the most ...

Geotechnical drilling programs are designed to characterize the subsurface at a project site in order to properly design foundations and avoid any subsurface hazards. However, drilling alone only provides isolated locations where subsurface information is obtained. Performing a geophysical survey ...

Pyramid offers a full range of private utility locating services to delineate and identify depths of buried pipes, conduit, rebar, and other suburface utilities.  Our equipment includes ground penetrating radar (GPR) with a range of antenna frequencies to be used ...

Subsurface geologic hazards can pose problems for pre-construction design, the integrity of existing structures, and the general stability of a project site. The utilization of geophysical methods to characterize a site can help to identify unknown hazards, as well as ...

Proper delineation of the extents of buried debris/materials that are associated with landfill sites can be a serious problem for companies that are planning on re-developing the site, or for environmental concerns associated with the buried materials. Geophysical tools can ...

Geophysical assessments of groundwater quality/behavior and water resources Geophysical methods such as electrical resistivity measure conductivity changes that are directly linked to groundwater characteristics. These methods can be used to examine the depth of the water table, identify the fresh/salt ...

Understanding the geology at specific project sites can be essential for a wide variety of applications, including construction design, water supply investigations, environmental concerns, and general site stability. Geophysical tools allow for a rapid characterization of site geology that, when ...
