Methods we commonly use in underground exploration;
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
o Seismic Methods (2D/3D Reflection, 2D Refraction Tomography, MASW, Microtremor, SPAC, Downhole, Cross-hole)
o Electrical Methods (SP, VES, IP, 2D Electrical Tomography)
o Magnetic Method
o Georadar (GPR)
o Electromagnetic Methods
We use geophysical surveys mainly to solve the following problem
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
o Tunnel – Road Route Studies,
o Investigation of Archaeological and Cultural Structures
o Revealing the geometry of landslides, slips etc.,
o Determining the distribution and depth of the causes and effects of engineering problems (settlement, sliding, swelling, deformation) in structures,
o Determination of Karst Spaces,
o Site selection of Engineering Structures, Soil Research,
o In Building Performance Analysis (Concrete strength, Reinforcement-corrosion, fracture),
o In the quality control of engineering productions,,
o Geological Surveys,
o Mineral Research,
o Hydrocarbon Research,
o In Groundwater – Mineral Water Research,
o Geothermal Resource Research,
o Buried pipelines, tanks and UXO Research,
o In building life monitoring systems,
o Environmental Pollution Research,
