Geographical Investigation and Survey
Our state of the art Geographical investigation and survey services include a wide range of activities aimed at collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data about the Earth’s surface and subsurface conditions. These services are used for planning, development, resource management, and risk assessment across various sectors.
Core Services
- Baseline Survey
- Air Quality Monitoring
- Standard Penetration Test (SPT)
- Rock Sampling (HQ, HWF, PWF)
- Disturbed Bulk Sampling
- Cone Penetration Test (CPT)
- Packer Test
- In-Situ Permeability Test
- Plate Load Test
- Cross-Hole Seismic Test
- Soil Electrical Resistivity
- Groundwater Level Monitoring
- Multi-Analysis Surface Waves (MASW)
- Downhole Seismic Test
- Falling Head/Rising Head/Constant Head Permeability Test
- Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT)
Key services generally fall into the following categories:
Data Collection and Fieldwork
- Geological Mapping: Systematic examination and documentation of surface rock exposures, soil composition, and structural features to understand the geology of an area.
- Geophysical Surveys: Non-invasive methods for investigating subsurface conditions by measuring physical properties like magnetism, gravity, and electrical conductivity to locate buried features, understand ground models, and detect anomalies.
- Geochemical Surveys: Collecting and analyzing samples of soil, rock, sediment, and water to determine their chemical composition and identify the presence of specific minerals or contaminants.
- Topographical Surveys (Land Surveys): Accurately capturing the coordinates and height data for natural and man-made features to create detailed maps, digital terrain models (DTMs), and contour maps.
- Subsurface/Ground Investigations: Direct methods such as drilling, coring, and test pitting to obtain physical samples and assess the actual geological structure and engineering properties of the ground.
- Environmental Assessments: Investigating potential environmental impacts and identifying site contamination, especially in sensitive ecosystems or urban areas.
- Hydrographic Surveys: Measuring and mapping inland waterways, inshore, and coastal areas to understand water flow, volume, and the topography of the water body beds.
Data Analysis and Management
- Geographic Information Systems (GIS): Using computer systems for capturing, storing, analyzing, and displaying geographically referenced data to identify patterns, relationships, and trends.
- Remote Sensing and Aerial Mapping: Using technologies such as LiDAR, drones, and aerial photography to quickly capture vast amounts of spatial information about terrain, vegetation, and infrastructure.
- Laboratory Testing: Scientific analysis of collected rock, soil, and water samples to determine material properties, composition, and contaminant levels.
- Data Management and Archiving: Structuring, processing, and storing large datasets to ensure data quality, accessibility, and longevity for future use and reference.
Advisory and Specialized Services
- Consultancy and Advisory Services: Providing expert advice on project planning, risk management, and regulatory compliance based on the gathered data.
- Construction Monitoring and Setting Out: Providing ongoing survey support during construction to ensure adherence to design specifications.
- Utility Mapping: Locating and mapping existing underground services (pipes, cables, etc.) using technologies like ground penetrating radar (GPR) to prevent damage during excavation.
