What We Do

Prism GeoImaging offers techniques such as ground penetrating radar (GPR), electrical resistivity imaging, electromagnetic conductivity mapping, electromagnetic metal detection, magnetics, seismic refraction and reflection, seismic multi-spectral analysis of surface waves (MASW), and a variety of downhole logging techniques. We have successfully used these techniques on a number of challenging projects including:

How we do it

There is no single way or method to accomplish the task of looking in the ground. The particular set of geophysical methods that we might use can vary significantly depending on the needs, situation, and site conditions. The technologies we typically use include ground penetrating radar (GPR), electrical resistivity, seismic, electromagnetic metal detection, magnetics, and radiometrics.

The depth of exploration for these methods varies from a few inches to hundreds of feet in depth. It is not enough to simply operate a geophysical instrument and store data. We have the experience and skills necessary to properly analyze and interpret the data, and then communicate our findings in an understandable visual image meaningful to you.

	Why geophysics?
	A geophysical investigation is similar to an X-Ray, MRI, or CAT scan for your project site because it provides you with advanced, detailed knowledge of the subsurface before you have to make important decisions about what to do next. We provide subsurface imaging and interpretation services to help you better understand what lies beneath the ground surface without drilling or digging. Whether you need to get something out of the ground or find something in the ground, you will be able to make decisions with the added confidence of an image of the subsurface at hand. Although the expense of a geophysical survey may add to the initial project cost, in fact the knowledge and information a geophysical survey can provide helps reduce risks and also results in a better project outcome, which often leads to a much lower actual project cost.
