Geophysical Bedrock Fracturing and Quality Studies

Geophysical methods can be used in bedrock fracturing and quality studies from land use planning all the way to zoning, the selection of various bedrock storage facilities / disposal sites, and the planning of industrial and mining environments.

Key benefits

Financial savings from studies

The research results promote more accurate scheduling processes and specified cost estimates (including targeted drillings).

Improved opportunities for meeting permit conditions

Bedrock fracturing and quality studies are often stated even as a requirement for meeting the permit conditions.

Safe and environmentally friendly studies

The studies are non-destructive, which means they leave no permanent traces in the terrain.

Research data facilitates the steering of design and construction work and makes cost estimates more accurate, since actions such as drillings can be targeted at the right areas. Moreover, the data promotes more detailed timetable estimates, as the area-related requirements for the construction work are known in detail. In addition, bedrock fracturing and quality studies are often stated as a requirement for meeting the permit conditions.
