One of the most common applications of near-surface seismic testing is to identify the depth of the top of a bedrock unit in the subsurface. The two most effective seismic methods associated with this application are: 1) Seismic refraction, and 2) Multi-Channel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW). Most people who are … [Read more...]
Seismic Services
Multi-Channel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW) Pyramid staff have taken advantage of this relatively new technique in the recent past for the purposes of geologic mapping, identifying depth to rock, analyzing subsurface velocity and density profiles, and geotechnical investigations. We utilize the Geometrics Geode … [Read more...]
Seismic Site Classification
Pyramid Geophysical Services conducted a geophysical investigation across a proposed apartment complex property in Charlotte, NC. This survey was performed to determine average shear wave velocities in the upper 100 feet of the subsurface to provide seismic data to the client for the purposes of determining a seismic … [Read more...]
