Borehole Seismic – Downhole & Crosshole

  • Obtain Vs values of rock and soils at a point surrounding a borehole
  • Multiple boreholes (up to 4) can be cross measured to create a 2D or 3D profile
  • Used in areas where surface access is restricted
  • Full Waveform Sonic which measures rock strength highly accurately
  • Very deep studies for mine sites, up to 300 meters
  • Sometimes used to verify geotechnical models
  • High resolution crosshole profiles between two boreholes detect extents of voids or other hidden features
