GPR for utility mapping & detection

Why it is important to scan the subsurface for underground utilities before starting a construction project?

GPR identification of ash layers and water tables in Iceland

A GPR-system was used to address the distribution of ash layers after a recently erupted volcano.

The same GPR-unit was also used to further investigate the volcano’s internal structure to learn more about its dynamics.

Geophysical identification of permafrost in Antarctica

Permafrost melting in the Antarctic puts science center in jeopardy. The ABEM Terrameter LS was on site to perform geophysical investigations.

GPR plays an important role in the unsealing of the Legendary Tomb of Christ

Thousands of people are visiting the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem every year. This historical venue needed to be thoroughly investigated by MALÅ GX and ABEM Terrameter LS to reveal what is hidden under the floor and behind the walls.

Prevention of environmental impact or damaging of archaeological features

Preservation of aquifer during re-route of highway

Due to the increased traffic intensity on the E22 highway and limited possibilities to broaden the road, a new solution needed to be drawn up to ensure the flow, safety, and environmental values. ABEM Terrameter LS played an important part in this important project.

Gladiator training camp discovered

A sensational discovery of the ruins of a gladiator school was made near Petronell-Carnuntum in Austria, with MALÅ MIRA 3D Imaging Radar Array GPR system.

Threats to the ground water table

The site of an old dry cleaner facility was investigated using the ABEM Terrameter LS to map the spread of tetrachloroethylene, a highly carcinogenic solvent used in dry cleaning.

Nickel bearing laterites

With the rocketing global demand for nickel has come a need to identify new sources of ore for nickel extraction. Indonesia’s TerraLog Services are now using MALÅ ProEx ground radar to evaluate previously hard-to-extract deposits.

Salt deposits

The target was to measure resistivity values with ABEM WalkTEM that could be associated with the presence of salt deposits or areas containing water with high salt concentration.
