Applying technology and know-how to today’s challenges

Subsurface investigations are conducted for a large variety of applications. What method to use depends on the challenges of the current environment. Today, Guideline Geo’s instruments and software are being used to solve uncountable number of problems for various applications. Select an area below to learn more about different application areas.

UTILITY LOCATING

Utilities can, for example, consist of pipes, tubes, cables, tanks of differing material, size, and age. These utilities are buried at different depths in the ground. The knowledge of both the location and depth can be lacking, due to obsolete, inaccurate, or non-existent subsurface maps.

BEDROCK MAPPING

Bedrock is the hard, solid rock most often found beneath the unconsolidated surface materials, such as sand or till, but also as outcrops above the ground surface. Knowledge of the depth to the bedrock and its properties are essential for infrastructure projects, building tunnels, extracting minerals and more.

Road investigation

With a growing road network requiring maintenance due to age and use, the need for information on its condition is increasing. Geophysical methods can then be a suitable solution to create a more comprehensive picture of the internal structure of our roads.

ICE AND SNOW

Ice and snow are many times important indicators of changes to the climatological system on Earth. A changing structure and volume of these media are normally associated with climatological changes and other trends important to humanity and life on earth.

Concrete Constructions and Rebars

With 24/7 global construction and ageing infrastructure, the need for inspection, maintenance, repair and rebuilding are constantly increasing.

DAM SAFETY

Coming soon..

WATER

To find, protect and keep our groundwater deposits (aquifers) drinkable, we need to not just drill a hole in the ground, but to gain a deeper understanding of potential threats and opportunities.

Groundwater Contaminants and Salination

Fresh groundwater is a precious and limited resource. With a growing population and urbanization, the threats upon groundwater are growing, with both contamination due to human activities and salination due to over-use.
