Applications

Our application areas

Utility Locating with GPR

The ground beneath our feet in urban areas inevitably gets more and more congested over time with infrastructure comprising both underground structures and utilities.

Potentiel IEDs half-buried in sand

Using GPR to Find UXOs

A guide to using Ground Penetrating radar (GPR) to find UXOs, landmines and IEDs as a part of a multi-sensory approach in accordance with ALARP

Finding Groundwater: Exploration Using Geophysics

Advanced geophysical solutions for locating and mapping groundwater aquifers.

bedrock mapping layers

Bedrock mapping/Finding Bedrock using Geophysical Methods

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.

Using GPR for Road Investigations

The road infrastructure is important for innumerable reasons and needs to be maintained to a certain level to ensure safe access, both for private and public transportation.

Post mining operations

When a mineral resource has been exhausted and a mine is closed, post-mining operations begin; the process of decommissioning and reinstatement.

Mining Operations: Geophysics

Mining is a truly global activity with operations at uncountable locations around the world, comprising both subsurface and open-pit mines

Mineral Exploration Using Geophysics

Global development drives rising demand for minerals – especially valuable commodities like gold, copper, and iron.

ice and snow

Ice and Snow investigations

Ice and snow are many times important indicators of changes to the climatological system on Earth.

Groundwater Contaminants and Salination

Fresh groundwater is a vital but limited resource increasingly threatened by contamination and salination from overuse and urban growth.

Geophysical Solutions for Dam Safety

Dams, used for water storage and for hydropower, irrigation, and flood control, are major structures needing regular monitoring and maintenance – especially as many age beyond their original design life.

Concrete structures and rebar investigations

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

Old landfills often have high concentrations of heavy metals, nutrients and organic substances in the ground. Decomposition of carbonaceous material can produce methane, carbon dioxide and organic acids that contaminate the environment.

Waste Deposits

Guideline Geo provide a number of geophysical solutions, which can be beneficial for ground investigations in conjunction with waste deposits and landfill areas.

Asphalt Investigations

There are over 64 million kilometers of roads globally, about 65% paved, mostly with asphalt made from stone and hydrocarbon or bitumen-based binders.

Geophysics for Archaeology

Buried archaeological features vary in age and size, often fragile and hidden, making them difficult to investigate without risking damage or destruction.

tunnel

Tunnel Inspection with GPR

Tunnels are an essential and growing part of our infrastructure all around the world.
