SEISMIC REFLECTION
GEMSOL UK Ltd specializes in the implementation of high resolution seismic reflection surveys for onshore marine environments. We regularly carry out seismic surveys in the fields of geotechnical and environmental as well as work concerning oil / mineral exploration.

SEISMIC REFRACTION
Main vocation: recognition of the rock mass in the framework of the projects of implantation of structures:
a) research and monitoring of the evolution of the position of the substratum under a soft cover
b) characterization of the physical state of the various zones of the rock mass by the knowledge of the seismic velocities of each of these zones.
Gemsol UK Ltd has a great experience in the use and deployment of this technique
Also used in combination with other techniques for aquifer recognition, characterization of terrain rippability or indirect search for materials.
Seismic refraction:
Method suitable for low and
medium depth reconnaissance (200 m maximum)
APPLICATION
The SEISMIC REFRACTION method is one of the most developed in geophysics for:
Analysis of the mechanical properties of the massifs prior to the construction of large public works (dams, major works ...).
Road and rail routes, rippability, etc.
Civil engineering: earthworks rippability, borrowing area of materials, hardness of the stratum, depth of foundation foundation, search for discontinuities, etc.
Geotechnical investigation
Hydrogeology: determination of the thickness of the aquifer and its cover, discontinuities and fracturing, etc.
Geological reconnaissance: variation of substratum depth, lithology and stratigraphy, basin and palaeovalline recognition, recognition of alterite and alluvial zones, etc.
Quarry and mine: location and thickness of deposits.
Geothermal: research resources, faults, etc.
Environment: stability of slope and slope, location of storage sites, etc.
