In our effort to better understand subsurface conditions, Geokos goes beyond conventional drilling methods and sampling techniques, incorporating various geophysical methods. These non-destructive testing methods cover broader and deeper areas than traditional drilling.
We are capable of conducting geophysical tests, enabling us to identify changes or anomalies within the layers of soil. When interpreted correctly, these anomalies can indicate the presence of potential risks beneath the surface, such as caves, voids, weak layers, or old buried remnants.
Our methods include:
These geophysical investigation methods enhance our ability to provide a more comprehensive and accurate assessment of subsurface conditions, ensuring a thorough understanding of the project area.
The use of geophysical surveys by Geokos A&A extends beyond the boundaries of traditional methods, providing a more comprehensive and detailed intervention in surface soil data. MASW (Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves) testing offers in-depth analysis of the seismic characteristics of the soil, while refraction and downhole tests are used to measure the velocity of subsurface sound waves and the structure of the soil layers.
Other methods, such as cross-hole testing and ground-penetrating radar, are used to uncover deeper information beneath the surface soil. These methods add a new dimension to our geotechnical assessment, enhancing our ability to identify potential risks and challenges beneath the ground.
By utilizing the latest technologies in geophysical surveys, Geokos A&A establishes a strong foundation for developing foundation strategies and minimizing risks in various projects. Through these innovative methods, we consolidate our role as a reliable source of geotechnical advice in the region.
