Geophysical Investigations
Advanced Geophysical Investigations for Enhanced Infrastructure Safety and Risk Management
Understanding the geology, hydrogeology, and sub-surface features of a site is crucial for assessing and mitigating project risks.
At SOCOTEC, we provide advanced geophysical investigation services to help ensure the safety and stability of infrastructure projects throughout their lifecycle. Our expertise in geophysical research allows us to reconstruct the underground environment from a geological, geotechnical, and environmental perspective, helping you better plan, design, and manage your infrastructure.

GPR profiling (GPR)
GPR profiling is a technique that uses ground-penetrating radar to obtain a cross-sectional image of the subsurface along a line, useful for detecting layers, buried objects, and anomalies.
Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT)
A geophysical method used to create a 2D or 3D image of the subsurface electrical resistivity distribution.
Seismic refraction tomography
Seismic refraction tomography is a technique that analyzes how seismic waves bend through the ground to image subsurface structures, revealing material variations, bedrock depth, and faults.
PPS vertical seismic profiling (VSP)
PPS Vertical Seismic Profiling (VSP) is a technique using surface seismic sources and borehole receivers to improve imaging and interpretation of subsurface structures and properties.
Profiling (ReMi)
ReMi (Refraction Microtremor) is a method used to study the ground's response to earthquakes by measuring how fast certain waves move through the soil. It helps understand how much the ground might shake and is useful for earthquake safety planning.
Borehole geophysics
Borehole geophysics is a method of studying underground layers by lowering instruments into a hole to measure rock and water properties, helping in construction and environmental planning.
Data integration into GIS geological model
A GIS-based geological model uses various geological data to create a 3D map of the subsurface for analysis and interpretation.
Magcone Magnetic Surveys (UXO)
Magcone Magnetic Surveys detect unexploded bombs or shells by measuring magnetic field changes caused by metal underground.
