GeoScan
Subterranean tomography

       In order for a project to be successful, the development process has to be approached with great responsibility. First of all the land has to be feasible for the proposed development and vice versa, otherwise costly remedial measures are inevitable. GeoProfessional's non-invasive techniques and methods can quickly characterize materials and detect unpredictable features before these become costly, time-consuming problems. For example, it is forbidden by law to built any type of construction on the land above any fuel or gas pipelines and ignoring this means the construction work has to be demolished, fines have to be paid, damaged pipelines have to be repaired, wasted fuel or gas has to be paid etc. making the information about these pipelines' location extremely useful. Information about the underground environment is also very useful to prove strict compliance with environmental legislation, where risk assessment requires total site coverage so that all possible contaminant sources can be traced.

       GeoScan combines rapid, non-intrusive modern methods and techniques to ensure that hidden anomalies are fully detected and properly interpreted. The most common underground hazards include pipelines, underground storage tanks, contaminated waste deposits, old construction work (walls, foundations, etc.) tunnels, unexploded ordnance, utilities (active or abandoned). All these can be accurately detected and mapped through detailed investigation.

       GeoScan reduces the risk of unexpected environmental or engineering hazards that lead to costly, time consuming replanning and remedial measures.

Applications

• detecting and mapping buried pipelines
• detecting and mapping active or abandoned storage tanks
• detecting and mapping buried foundations, tunnels or any other form of construction, archeological sites
• detecting and mapping underground utilities
• detecting and mapping any other buried metallic objects
• detecting unexploded ordnance
• mapping of groundwater surface and flow paths
• detecting and mapping of “problem areas”: cavities, areas of poor compaction, etc.
• detecting possible contamination sources

GeoScan benefits:

• reduces the risk of injury, damage and fines
• reduces the risk of construction delays and helps better planning
• cost-effective: it reduces the overall project cost by providing accurate information about the underground environment and utility location
• non-intrusive
• quicker, less time-consuming
• easy to use, comprehensive reports
