If you’re looking for an effective way to analyze soil without resorting to invasive methods or direct sampling, Electroresistivity (Electrical Resistivity) is the answer. This innovative geophysical technique offers a clear view of underground soil characteristics at various depths, reducing uncertainty in projects and translating data into visual models.
Let’s explore the applications and workings of this technology and its benefits:
Geotechnics: Provides valuable information for assessing geotechnical problems such as dam stability, soil saturation, detecting landslide risks, foundation instability and identifying voids in the subsoil.
Mining: Locates mineral deposits and determines the depth and direction of mineral resources.
Hydrogeology: Analyzes the distribution of groundwater and identifies impermeable layers for better management of aquifers and water resources.
Environmental Studies: Detects and monitors soil and groundwater contamination.
Agriculture: Monitors soil moisture and determines geotechnical characteristics to optimize cultivation.
Archaeology: Identifies buried archaeological sites and ancient structures.
Electrical Resistivity involves the controlled injection of an electric current into the ground using electrodes, allowing the measurement of electrical resistivity in different regions of the subsoil. This data reveals crucial information about geological characteristics, such as alterations, fracturing, saturation and geological structure.
By combining information from different sections, it is possible to create a three-dimensional model that provides a complete visualization of the site’s subsoil.
An advanced variant of electrical walking, Electrical Tomography is known for its automation, programmability and the ability to provide high-resolution results in 1D, 2D and 3D formats.
