Geophysical Testing and Evaluation

Many traditional subsurface explorations are expensive, labor-intensive, or simply not feasible to identify underground hazards or contamination. Geophysical testing can help identify underground hazards such as buried tanks, utilities, sinkholes, old landfill material, or other potential subsurface sources of contamination and potential pathways for contaminant migration. Various geophysical testing methods including but not limited to seismic and magnetic surveys enable scientists to have a preliminary overview of underground conditions prior to any subsurface excavation.
