Contamination and Metal Mapping

  • Find contaminants within soils like metals, hydrocarbons or landfill leachate or other fluids
  • Find rebar containing concrete buried beneath soils
  • EM31 can detect up to 6 meters in depth with a broad resolution
  • We also own a Geophex GEM-2 which can detect deeper than 6 meters, but has lower resolutions, usually applied to niche cases. Though can also be adjusted to recording high frequencies, detecting very small anomalies in the near-surface.
  • Distinguish high resistance sands against low resistant organic layers
  • Follow leachate flows, excellent at detecting problem areas for focused studies
  • 2D or 3D profiles can be performed using resistivity testing for deeper studies of contaminant plumes from tailings
