Resistivity: 1D, 2D, 3D
Features of Resistivity
- Distinguish compositions of soils, overburden materials, contamination, saturation layers
- Bedrock mapping (conditional on site specifics)
- Cathode protection studies
- Identify weak zones on earth dams and levees
- Groundwater table studies – find water filled fractures in rock, ideal for drilling
- Surface testing and non-intrusive pin electrode methods used
- Soil saturation studies
- Salt water intrusion studies
- Soil Sample Testing in our lab
Survey Types and Applications
- VES 1D Profile (Wenner, Schlumberger)
- ERT (Electrical Resistivity Tomography) 2D & 3D Arrays
- Induced Polarization for Surface Mineral Exploration or engineering applications.
- In Borehole Resistivity Surveys: Dual Induction, ELog, Induced Polarization
- In Lab Resistivity Testing: Two Pin, Four Pin, Salinity, Moisture Curves.
