Geomatrix a please to announce we have added a Raptor 45 system to the rental pool. The 8 channel system with 450MHz central frequency antenna expands our range of ImpulseRadar GPR systems. Optimised primarily for utility detection the cart based system offers a swath width of 0.64m,

New P-wave sparker tool for deep crosshole tomography

30 June 2021

Geotomographie are presently testing a new downhole seismic source designed to operate over a standard 4 conductor wire line cable to depths of up to 1000m. The SBS1000 MAGNUM is a 2000J wide bandwidth high frequncy (around 3kHz) P-wave sparker source for conducting crosshole tomography investigations. The high voltage impulse generator electronics have been miniaturised to fit within three cylindrical housing suitable for deployment within standard 100mm diameter engineering borehole. Proposed markets for this tool include mining, Carbon Capture and Storage and Geological Disposal Facilities. For further information please feel free to contact us.

A borehole seismic tomography experiment was conducted at a halite mining site. The halite has been extracted from a deep saline layer by soluting the rock over decades. Subsidence was observed at the surface and a non-destructive method was requested to image the rock between existing boreholes. Borehole were multiple steel cased with low or no grouting between the different casings. The SBS1000 source was used to generate the
seismic signal and a 24-channel hydrophone string (2 m spacing) was used to acquire the data. These boreholes were doubled cased (one case within another). The high level of noise within the shot record indicates the bonding between the two cases was not optimal. Data courtesy of Geotomographie

Minor Earthquake recorded in the local area (UK)

8 September 2020

Our CG6 Micro Gravity meters were able to capture the event that shook the local area around 9:45am this morning. Depicted as a sharp peak within our drift profiles the recorded high was around 5164mgal, a 9.5 mGal difference from the normal 5154.5 mGal average.
