Service basis
What this service supports
- Client need
- Subsurface uncertainty affecting foundations, slopes, groundwater targets, utilities, or project planning.
- Good fit when
- Non-invasive subsurface screening could help focus a wider investigation program.
- Conditions need to be compared between limited boreholes, exposures, wells, or other control points.
- A survey target has a plausible physical contrast and the site can support a suitable acquisition layout.
- What you gain
- Inferred subsurface contrasts that can guide boreholes, sampling, monitoring, or other confirmation work.
- Visible QA context and limitations so interpreted sections are not treated as direct geological observations.
- What information should you prepare?
- The survey target, decision to be supported, and desired investigation depth or scale.
- A site plan, coordinate reference, and available geology, borehole, well, or utility information.
- Access, ground-surface, cultural-noise, safety, and line-layout constraints.
- How does HydroGeo approach the work?
- ERT, MASW, GPR, VES, TEM, and survey design selected for the target and site conditions. Magnetotelluric (MT) work for deeper resistivity structure can be discussed where suitable; specialist participation, equipment, acquisition and processing are confirmed for the specific scope.
- What can the service deliver?
- Processed sections, QA notes, interpreted contrasts, and practical follow-up priorities.
- What are the professional limitations?
- Geophysical responses are inferred conditions and require geological, borehole, sampling, pumping-test, or monitoring confirmation where applicable.
