The majority of environmentally relevant geophysical investigations involve imaging the bedrock surface and the identification of permeable faults and decompaction zones in the subsurface that pose a threat to groundwater water resources.
Key benefits
- Costs for high resolution surveying of several lines totalling 1 km for less than 15’000 €
- Exact localisation of fault and decompaction zones for the positioning of boreholes
Example: Mapping subsurface structures in a groundwater endangered geological setting
