What We Do

We travel throughout the United States providing hands-on civil/Structural and Geophysical services. Many US-based companies, along with state and federal agencies appreciate this approach. As a geophysical consulting firm, we offer services to address many issues.

Our Services

Subsurface Void Investigations

Subsurface condition assessment service is provided to Oil and Gas Industry and Chemical Plants to provide them quality and safety assurance at the highest level.

Environmental Remediation

Pollution is a major concern globally. Unlike air and noise pollution, searching for hazardous waste and the collateral damage from the improper disposal of hazardous waste are targets for geophysical surveys.

Pavement Thickness Assessment

Millions of dollars are spent on building, rebuilding or repairing highways nationwide. This GPR procedure can be added to traditional roadway assessments, but this one is providing valuable data and datasets to be obtained non-destructively.

Forensic Science

Forensic geophysics is for law enforcement and other legal matters. It is a non-destructive approach for locating evidence found beneath the surface of the ground or water.

Real Estate Assessments

Real estate assessments can also pertain to documenting underground storage tanks finding septic systems, mapping tile lines and locating private facilities. Locating private facilities can encompass buried pipes, cables, water lines, wires, and other artifacts. Due to liability issues, locating public utilities is best left to the organizations authorized to do so.

Archaeology

Archaeology is one of the more challenging areas in geophysics. Mapping very subtle changes at depth can affect the electrical properties of the soil (e.g. apparent conductivity, apparent resistivity and magnetic susceptibility).
