Surface Wave Seismic Survey

GeoPhysi is proud to offer Surface Wave Seismic Surveys, a specialized geophysical method designed to assess the subsurface shear wave velocity profile. This technique is particularly useful for evaluating soil stiffness, seismic site characterization, and understanding ground conditions for construction and engineering projects.

Surface Wave Seismic Surveys involve generating surface waves, typically using a sledgehammer or mechanical source, and recording the waves’ travel along the ground. By analyzing the dispersion of these waves, GeoPhysi can accurately determine the shear wave velocity at various depths, which is crucial for assessing the seismic response of the ground and designing foundations, retaining walls, and other structures.

One of the key advantages of Surface Wave Seismic Surveys is their ability to provide a continuous shear wave velocity profile, making them highly effective for identifying variations in subsurface conditions. This method is also non-destructive, cost-effective, and applicable in a wide range of environments, from urban areas to remote locations.

At GeoPhysi, we leverage our extensive experience and cutting-edge technology to deliver precise and actionable data. Our team works closely with clients to understand their specific needs and tailor our surveys accordingly, ensuring the best possible outcomes for each project.
