Earth Resistance (ER)

Measures the difficulty of passing an electric current through the ground. Effective for detecting features with different moisture content from the surrounding soil, such as foundation remains and ditches.

This technique measures the difficulty of passing an electric current through the ground. Effective for detecting features with different moisture content from the surrounding soil, such as foundation remains and ditches. We deploy a multiplex probe system, which can easily be configured to collect data at different probe separations to provide different depths of investigation according to the requirements of your project.

Our techniques

Learn more about the techniques that we use.

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.

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.

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.
