Visit the page, to read more about their Geophysical Services in Kentucky .Designed to assist in non-destructive subsurface explorations, our Geophysical Testing Services include 2D & 3D Electrical Imaging and induced polarization surveys that are invaluable in terms of effectiveness.

Electrical Resistivity Imaging (ERI) is one of the latest Geophysical Techniques used to create an image of a specific section of Earth’s subsurface. It involves measuring the resistivity of Earth along a single profile or a series of profiles. Using a number of stainless-steel electrodes that are driven into the ground at even intervals, an image of the subsurface is obtained that can be either two or three-dimensional depending on the need for the survey.

ERI is used primarily to identify hidden features beneath the surface such as karst, buried structures, tanks, voids, differing geology, groundwater sources, and so on. They can also aid in the analysis of volumetric aggregate resources, bedrock features, and aquifers.
