Background

There were many cracks, joints, fractures and karstic spaces on the measurement surface of limestone that was to be used for dam construction.

Background: 

Seawater desalination plants require a large supply of clean seawater to run without causing ecological problems. Common problems include:

• Sea animals like fish, shrimp, etc., which get stuck in the inlet screen of the intake by the force of the streaming water.

Purpose

A mining company in Turkey hoped to determine existing and new alternative basalt zones at an existing basalt mining site by using Electrical Resistivity Imaging (ERI).

Background

In 2015, our client Pyramid Environmental performed a geophysical investigation for the National Park Service at Carlsbad Caverns National Park in Carlsbad, New Mexico. The survey used electrical resistivity (ER) mapping to look for potential underground caves or caverns near an area designated for the construction of an underground water pipeline.

Background

In August 2014, AGH University of Science and Technology in Krakow, Poland used AGI tools and resistivity imaging to survey the ruins of Czorsztyn Castle, a 14th-century castle located inside the boundaries of Pieniny National Park in southern Poland.

Identifying Karst Formations Under A Nuclear Power Cooling Pond

GeoSurvey Systems, Inc., now acquired by Collier Consulting, was exploring Karst formations under a nuclear power cooling pond in Crystal River, Florida, in order to find out more about the geohazards and solution zones underneath the pond.

Background & Objective

A study was performed at a Heap Leach Copper Mining site in Chile to determine dry and saturated zones in order to improve the irrigation at the Heap Leach Copper Mining and increase the production of concentrate of Copper.
