Civil Engineering
Geophysics has long been widely utilised to support large and small scale civil engineering projects across all sectors. In this industry, Geophysics is primarily used as a tool to image the top 20 m of the subsurface to aid in project planning and geohazard identification. A diverse array of Geophysical techniques are used, the principle ones being:
GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar)
Seismics (commonly MASW and refraction)
ERT (Electrical Resitivity Tomography)
EM (Electromagnetric)
MAG (Magnetometry)
Gravity
Downhole (Wireline) logging
