Fibre Optic Distributed Temperature Sensing for Borehole Flow Monitoring
Subsurface environments are critical not only as water resources but also for energy use including geothermal, CO2 sequestration and oil & gas operations. These sensitive environments are directly affected by anthropogenic activities, hence monitoring is essential. Temperature offers insight into a variety of physical properties and can be used for flow monitoring and flux quantification in the subsurface. Traditionally, point sensors have been used to collect temperature data; however, significant limitations ...

Seismic borehole and surface solutions for soil dynamic parameter investigation sector
Site classification according to EC8 and DIN4149. In order to quantify the design load for buildings due to an earthquake the Eurocode 8 (EC8) and the DIN4149 require the classification of the ground. The dominating or average shear wave velocity in depths down to 30 m is most often used for this classification. Beyond that the standards request certain design features as flexible foundation beams based on the class of the subsoil which are affecting the costs of a building. A seismic survey can often reduce the ...

Seismic borehole and surface solutions for mining risk assessment sector
Sinkholes: Natural cavities or cavities caused by mining can collapse what lead frequently to sudden subsidence of the subsurface material (sinkholes). Especially in urban areas, considerable damages on buildings can be observed due to the ...

Seismic borehole and surface solutions for crosshole/downhole
Ship locks and lifts: A ship lock is an engineering structure which enables ships to overcome the level difference between two waterways. Water level is raised or lowered by filling or emptying the lock chambers. Filling and emptying a lock chamber is a central process of the ship lock which causes high cyclical loads on the underground. therefore, an a-priori estimate of the soil behaviour under loads is crucial for geotechnical engineers to select the best design parameters and to avoid undesired deformations on ...

Seismic borehole and surface solutions for seismic tomography
Wind power plants: Wind turbines requires a stable foundation to derive dynamic force into an intact ground. e integrity of the subsurface needs to be inspected prior the design. Underground cavities or tunnels of man-made or natural origin may lead to undesired subsidence or foundation ...
