Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)

Measures the travel time of reflected high-frequency electromagnetic radiation. Effective for detecting abrupt interface changes and voids, for example foundation remains, graves, burial chambers and cellars.

Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) measures the travel time of reflected high-frequency electromagnetic radiation. Effective for detecting abrupt interfaces between materials and fills. Typical example targets include foundation remains, graves, chambers and voids.

Magnitude Surveys can deploy hand-held or motorised, single-channel, multi-channel, multi-frequency or stepped-frequency systems according to the required survey target, depth, resolution and coverage.

Our techniques

Learn more about the techniques that we use.

Magnetometry

Measures the ambient magnetic field strength. Effective for detecting features with magnetic contrast from the surrounding soil, including burnt features, pits and ditches.

Electromagnetic Conductivity (EM)

Measures the ease of which current flow can be induced in material. Effective for detecting conductive features, such as geomorphology and subsurface landforms, ditches and earthworks.

Earth Resistivity Tomography (ERT)

Multiple earth resistance profile measurements are fused to create 2D sections and 3D profiles of electrical resistivity through the ground, commonly used to determine the depth of known features.
