Archaeological Exploration case study
Case 1 A surface resistivity to find underground tombs A surface-resistivity survey with 4m electrode spacing was used to reaffirm the location of a number of underground tombs. The inversion image concurred with the site investigation except for the void between the 8th and 14th electrodes. Further investigation by an archeological team concluded that a tomb existed beneath this area that was ...

Scanning for Leaks & Sinkhole Detection in a Retention Pond - Case Study
In January 2015, one of our clients used AGI tools and software for leak and sinkhole detection in the liner of a retention pond in Tennessee. Process Our client’s customer had a retention pond that was designed to hold liquid, but it was leaking through a hole in the liner. The client used the SuperSting R8 with 112 total electrodes arranged in a 4-by-28 electrode 3D grid with ...

GPR: a new tool for structural health monitoring of infrastructure
Abstract Recent developments in acquisition methodology, data acquisition systems, post-processing software, and the availability of user friendly high-frequency antennas have enabled the GPR user to generate accurate three dimensional images of the interior of concrete structures. Four case studies are discussed with emphasis on output that is readily understood by the non-specialist engineer. ...

Using Electromagnetic induction to characterize soils - Case Study
Electrical conductivity measurements have been used for years to determine salinity and moisture in soils. Probes were inserted directly into the soil to determine how well the soil conducted an applied current. This process was slow and labor-intensive and was usually reserved for scientific studies. A more recent technique for measuring conductivity is electromagnetic induction (EM), a ...
