Environmental Geophysics:

Geophysical techniques are commonly used for environmental engineering. They can be used to locate buried objects such as underground storage tanks (UST) and map landfill boundaries. They are also useful for detecting leachate and revealing contamination migration pathways.

Geophysical techniques are non-invasive and cost effective in assessing environmental hazards. For these reasons, geophysical techniques are recognized and recommended by the EPA, state agencies, and environmental consultants.

Underground Storage Tank Detection:

Magnetic, electromagnetic and ground penetrating radar techniques are commonly used to detect UST's, drums, and other buried debris.

Landfill Delineation:

Electromagnetics is an effective tool in delineating landfills. It is effective at detecting metallic debris and soil leachates that alter the conductivity of the soil. EM can also show leachate migration pathways and direction by identifying subsurface water pathways.
