Areas of Expertise & Application Fields

• Site characterization (prediction of weak zones and faults, rock quality assessment)

• Mining (ore prospecting and delineation, mapping of ore bodies and seams)

• Oil (fractured reservoir characterization--3D fracture mapping from VSP data)

• Tunnels (prediction of rock anomalies ahead of works)

• Location of old shafts, drifts, caverns

• Nuclear and hydroelectric power plants (foundation and underground facilities)

• Ground engineering

• Control of man-made structures

• Dams and dam sites (detection of leakage, mapping of karsts, checking of grout injection, etc.)

• Bridges (detection of fissures, sand pockets and unconsolidated concrete)

• Chemical and radioactive waste and chemicals, water resources, environmental contamination)

• Storage for oil, gas, hot water
