Solutions across sectors

Groundwater exploration

Delineating aquifers, estimating depth to water-bearing units, and mapping freshwater–saline water interfaces.

Engineering & infrastructure

Imaging weak zones, bedrock geometry, cavities and subsurface conditions that influence design and construction.

Environmental assessment

Characterizing landfills, conductive leachate zones and potential subsurface pathways for contaminant migration.

Mining & minerals

Mapping geological structures, alteration zones and physical-property contrasts associated with mineralized targets.

Oil & gas reconnaissance

Regional mapping of basement architecture, faults, basin geometry and structural trends using potential-field methods.

Archaeological investigations

Non-invasive detection and mapping of buried walls, foundations, tombs, cavities and other archaeological features.

Urban mapping & utilities

Locating buried utilities, voids and shallow infrastructure to support safer excavation and urban planning.

Dams & geotechnical assessment

Investigating seepage, fractures, weathered zones, foundation conditions and other geotechnical anomalies.

UXO & buried objects
