Model EM-Tipped -Hydrographic Jet Probe
Jet probes are used for a variety of purposes and are normally deployed in conjunction with other data collection techniques such as hydrographic surveys, sub-bottom profiling, side scan sonar surveys and vibracoring. Jet probe surveys provide information by surveying the thickness and layering of sediment covers on land or underwater. A jet of water is used to penetrate the sand cover or unconsolidated sediment.
At Aqua Survey we have combined this standard tool with another standard; the Geonics’ EM-61 console. A new proprietary hybrid system combines Geonics’ EM-61 consoles with Aqua Survey-developed electromagnetic sensor tipped jet-probes. This combination allows divers as well as topside and terrestrial technicians to advance an EM probe by utilization of a water-jet at the tip of the probe while at the same time detecting both ferrous and non-ferrous buried metals. The probe can be attached to various length handles (2-40 feet). Operators are alerted both visually and audibly when metal objects are detected in advance of the probe. This system provides a safe, efficient and cost effective alternative for the probing of sediment or soils for metal objects. Probes can also be operated without water-jetting in unconsolidated sediments.
An EM-Tipped Jet-Probe will allow investigators to surgically and safely probe areas with:
- Sensitive Ecology
- Buried Utilities
- Buried Steel Drums
- Cultural Artifacts
- Munitions and Explosives of Concern.
