Pyramid Environmental has deployed state-of-the-art seismographic equipment for the benefit of their customers.
Seismic Analysis
Pyramid staff have taken advantage of this relatively new technique in the recent past for the purposes of geologic mapping, identifying depth to rock, analyzing subsurface velocity and density profiles, and geotechnical investigations. We use the Geometrics Geode seismograph with a 24 channel geophone system to collect subsurface velocity (shear wave) data at our project sites. The MASW method is useful in areas where shallow buried utilities and other metal or electrical objects would cause interference when attempting to use other geophysical methods (such as MER or EM).
Multi-Channel Analysis of Surface Waves | MASW |
MASW is an effective tool in delineating geologic features in the subsurface, including major stratigraphic changes (i.e. sand to silt to clay) as well as the top of rock and the integrity of the upper rock formation. The velocity data obtained from an MASW survey can also be used by geotechnical engineers in foundation design and structural remediation plans.
