| | Geology Rocks, but it still has its faults! | |
| | Did you know that SUMO’s specialist geophysics team can support geotechnical investigations by locating anything from the depth of drift cover to bedrock, to the extent of sinkhole formation, thereby helping to minimise unexpected site problems, and their associated costs?
| |
| | Utilising a combination of the latest survey techniques, including Ground Conductivity, Magnetic Survey, Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) & Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), we can help you to understand more about the natural features below the ground, including:
Alluvial channels/paleochannels
Bedrock depth
Large discontinuities i.e. faults, major joints/fractures
Mineralised veins
Mineshafts (in mineralised areas)
Sinkholes

| |
| | With a range of methodologies and techniques penetrating to depths of 30m+, SUMO has a solution to help you to understand more about your site’s geology without the need for intrusive investigations.
