Geomatrix Earth Science Ltd
Seismic surveying is one of the most effective ways to explore rock and subsoil. It is ideal for finding groundwater, oil and useful minerals. We can offer Geodes in combinations up to 96 channels. Common applications include:
Shallow Seismic Refraction
In this type of survey you examine low and high velocity layers down to the basement rock, and map tectonic features and quality changes. Features within the overlaying sedimentary layers are also investigated
Shallow Seismic Reflection
Reflection surveys are becoming more and more popular for shallow studies thanks to significant improvements in the dynamic range of modern seismographs. Reflection surveys require powerful filtering, on-board trace scaling, high frequency energy sources and high frequency geophones for the best results.
Energy Sources:
For active seismic applications we offer the choice of, hammer and plate, Buffalo gun or PEG-40 accelerated weight drop
Other Seismic Applications
Other applications include shearwave studies, vertical seismic profiling and tube wave measurements.
Vibration Monitoring
For hire only, we offer the CM1 vibration monitor from Magus Electronics, click on the link on this page for full specifications. Note, the units we currently own do not record sound, but this feature can be added to our systems should the demand exist.
