Geophysical Services

Delivering accurate and precise results for successful projects

Geophysical methods can be used independently or integrated with other investigative methods such as test borings and other sampling programs, to provide subsurface information that cannot be gathered by other invasive methods. The resulting data can be used to plan or guide subsequent work including the placement of boreholes, wells, and exploratory shafts, or to avoid potential subsurface hazards. Our geophysics team can help you:

• Determine soil and rock properties.
• Map geologic structure and geologic hazards (landslides and faults).
• Delineate and characterize landfills and hazardous waste.
• Locate buried tanks, utilities, debris, and historical/archaeological objects.
• Determine subsurface seepage zones.
• Characterize karst potential and investigate sinkholes.
• Assess pavements for thickness and integrity (delaminations).
• Locate embedded reinforcing steel (e.g., PT cables) and conduits.
• Locate subsurface voids.

Want to dig deeper?

Terracon’s geophysical services can help give you an idea of expected subsurface conditions on your project long before it’s time to break ground. A “smart exploration plan” featuring geophysics followed by borings or test pits can help reduce risk and support financial planning for your projects.
