  • Tech Talk is Back on Geoviewinc.com! 🛰️ Taking Geophysics to the Skies At GeoView, accurate site investigations require looking at target areas from every angle—and sometimes the best perspective comes from above. We’re introducing our latest aerial technology: the DJI Matrice 300 RTK (M300) paired with the Zenmuse XT2 dual-sensor thermal sensor. By combining real-time kinematic (RTK) accuracy with FLIR thermal imaging, our team captures high-precision thermal and visual data simultaneously. From pinpointing structural thermal anomalies and moisture entrapment to mapping surface shifts over buried infrastructure, aerial thermal insights elevate how we cross-reference ground-based data like GPR and seismic surveys. 👉 Head over to the Tech Talk page on our website to learn how this technology works! https://geoviewinc.com/tech-talk/ #GeoView #Geophysics #ThermalImaging #DJIM300 #ZenmuseXT2 #FLIR #DroneInspection #Engineering #SiteInvestigation #SubsurfaceMapping #FLGeophysics
  • Mapping the Subsurface at USF: Supporting Campus Growth 🐂 As the University of South Florida continues to expand its underground infrastructure, keeping a precise blueprint of existing utilities is critical for safe development. GeoView recently headed back to Tampa to perform a comprehensive Level B Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) study around the Muma College of Business. The Mission: The goal was to accurately locate and map a dense network of buried utilities—including power, water, chilled water, gas, communications, and sewer systems—to safeguard the area prior to future campus expansion. The Technology Deployment: Navigating a complex university environment requires a multi-tool approach to catch both metallic and non-metallic lines: GPR & Electronic Utility Locators: Used in tandem to detect and trace conductive subsurface utilities. Toneable Rodder: Deployed to access and track non-conductive stormwater and sanitary sewer pipes that can often be missed by standard radar. Emlid RS3 GPS: Utility positions were captured in real-time kinematic (RTK) mode, delivering sub-foot horizontal accuracy. The Results: Our field data was seamlessly processed and delivered to the client in an AutoCAD format, allowing the findings to be effortlessly integrated straight into the University’s infrastructure archives.

  • Precision Marine Profiling: Mapping Coal Ash Sediment Thickness 🌊🔋 Recent updates to EPA regulations have made it essential for power plants to thoroughly evaluate existing ash ponds and determine the precise thickness of accumulated ash sediments. GeoView stepped up to deliver a highly effective, non-destructive solution for a facility in West Virginia. The Mission We were tasked with accurately mapping both the top and bottom interfaces of ash sediment across four separate ash settling ponds at a power plant. The Challenge Site-specific safety regulations meant we couldn't put personnel out on the water in a traditional manned vessel. The data collection required a creative, completely unmanned approach. The Technology Deployment To navigate the safety restrictions while maintaining extreme data accuracy, our team engineered a portable, shoreline-controlled survey setup: Sub-Bottom Profiling System: We deployed an Edgetech 3100 topside system with a 216 towfish mounted to the underside of a portable pontoon boat. Shore-Pulled Control: Instead of a motorized drone or a crewed vessel, the pontoon boat was safely pulled across the ponds by hand from the shore using a network of ropes. The Results Using Edgetech Discover software, our processing team calculated depths based on a velocity of 4,870 feet per second to deliver an exact model of the subsurface. Dual-Interface Mapping: The survey successfully resolved distinct data for both the top of the ash sediment and the underlying pond bottom interface. Contour Elevation Maps: We delivered detailed contour maps showing the precise elevations of the ash sediment layers. https://geoviewinc.com/sediment-thickness-of-a-coal-ash-pond/ #Geophysics #SubBottomProfiling #MarineSurvey #Edgetech #CoalAshPond #EPARegulations #SiteCharacterization #GeoView
  • Case Study Monday is Back! Mapping Beneath the Panama Canal: A Landmark Project 🚢🌎 How do you prepare to build a massive bridge over one of the most vital shipping lanes on earth? You start by mapping the bedrock under some of the most rugged, difficult terrain imaginable. GeoView teamed up with an international consortium to tackle a high-stakes geotechnical investigation for the Autoridad del Canal de Panama (ACP), mapping out the subsurface velocity profiles along a 4-kilometer stretch north of the Gatun Lock. The Challenge The proposed footprint for the new Panama Canal bridge featured incredibly steep, heavily vegetated, and rugged terrain. Standard drilling equipment couldn’t easily access every location, meaning non-destructive, deep-imaging geophysics was critical to filling in the blanks. The Technology Deployment Our team deployed a powerhouse combination of seismic methods to capture both compression waves (P-waves) and shear waves (S-waves) down to depths of 30 meters: The Breakthrough The data revealed a stark geological contrast between the two sides of the canal: The West Bank: The unweathered, solid Gatun Formation bedrock was found to be incredibly shallow—less than 5 meters below the surface. The East Bank: Bedrock dropped significantly deeper, sitting between 25 to 28 meters down, blanketed by a thick layer of very soft fill and sediments. Precision Anomalies: We also isolated localized low-velocity pockets, alerting engineers to weathered zones where thicker sediment had pooled over time. Thanks to these highly detailed P-wave and S-wave velocity models, the engineering team received a flawless blueprint of the foundation conditions—ensuring the future bridge rests on solid ground. #Geophysics #SeismicRefraction #MASW #PanamaCanal #GeotechnicalEngineering #CivilEngineering #Infrastructure #BridgeDesign #GeoView

GeoView stepped up to deliver a highly effective, non-destructive solution for a facility in West Virginia. The Mission We were tasked with accurately mapping both the top and bottom interfaces of ash sediment across four separate ash settling ponds at a power plant.

The Results Using Edgetech Discover software, our processing team calculated depths based on a velocity of 4,870 feet per second to deliver an exact model of the subsurface.
