Case study – Bridge/tunnel base exploration Case 1 A surface-borehole resistivity survey completed for bridge construction As shown infigure 1, this surface-borehole survey was configured to accurately locate known caves for structural reasons. The operator collected 60k data points in only one hour as a result of how the FlashRES-UNIVERSAL can collect all voltage readings for each combination of current electrodes. Figure 2 shows that the inversion image obtained from the data set has a low resistivity anomaly on each side of the borehole; two caves were found after drilling holes on both sides of the borehole. 1 Case 2 A surface-tunnel resistivity survey completed for railway construction The purpose of the survey was to explore possible geological reasons why part of a railway tunnel (from 370 to 430m) experienced settlement after completion. 63 electrodes were laid on the surface above the tunnel and one was put into the tunnel in the area of settlement. The following figure shows the inversion result from the survey: a few low resistivity anomalies are illustrated beneath the tunnel between 370 to 450m. After physically investigating the area, old coal mining tunnels filled with sand and mud beneath the railway tunnel were found. 2
