🛰️ 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.

  • 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.

At GeoView, we are proud to provide the precision mapping needed to keep campus infrastructure projects moving forward safely. Go Bulls! 🤘

  • 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.

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.

Uncovering Ancient Artifacts: Advanced Geophysics for Cultural Preservation 🏺🗺️

Before major infrastructure projects begin, ensuring that history isn't lost under the pavement is a vital step. GeoView took part in an extensive archeological investigation along a proposed pipeline route stretching from the Cordillera de Mérida mountain range in northeastern Colombia toward the Pacific Ocean.

The Mission:
Our team was tasked with surveying twelve distinct areas, each approximately 2,400 square meters, to identify buried Pre-Columbian artifacts prior to pipeline construction. The targets included everything from historic metal tools and pottery to ancient gold ear and nose rings.

The Technology:
Because the targets varied in material and depth, we utilized a multi-method geophysical approach across the grass and light underbrush terrain:

Frequency Domain Electromagnetics (EM-38): Using a Geonics EM38-MK2 in a vertical dipole orientation, we mapped soil bulk conductivity and inphase readings down to about 1.5 meters, capturing both ferrous (iron-bearing) and non-ferrous metals.

Total Field Magnetics: A Geometrics G-859 Cesium Vapor magnetometer was used to look deeper into the subsurface—sensitivities ranged from 2 to 5 meters depending on the target’s size and orientation.

Handheld Metal Detectors: To ensure nothing was missed, traditional handheld detectors were deployed to catch small, shallow metallic objects that the broader, deeper-sensing equipment might bypass.

The Results:
Over a three-week period, the combination of high-precision instruments and shallow-target sweeping successfully mapped out the sites.

Precision Excavation: GeoView provided comprehensive site maps and coordinates for each anomaly, allowing the archeological team to precisely excavate and document these invaluable historical artifacts before construction commenced.

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.

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.

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.

Uncovering Ancient Artifacts: Advanced Geophysics for Cultural Preservation 🏺🗺️

Before major infrastructure projects begin, ensuring that history isn't lost under the pavement is a vital step. GeoView took part in an extensive archeological investigation along a proposed pipeline route stretching from the Cordillera de Mérida mountain range in northeastern Colombia toward the Pacific Ocean.

The Mission:
Our team was tasked with surveying twelve distinct areas, each approximately 2,400 square meters, to identify buried Pre-Columbian artifacts prior to pipeline construction. The targets included everything from historic metal tools and pottery to ancient gold ear and nose rings.

The Technology:
Because the targets varied in material and depth, we utilized a multi-method geophysical approach across the grass and light underbrush terrain:

Frequency Domain Electromagnetics (EM-38): Using a Geonics EM38-MK2 in a vertical dipole orientation, we mapped soil bulk conductivity and inphase readings down to about 1.5 meters, capturing both ferrous (iron-bearing) and non-ferrous metals.

Total Field Magnetics: A Geometrics G-859 Cesium Vapor magnetometer was used to look deeper into the subsurface—sensitivities ranged from 2 to 5 meters depending on the target’s size and orientation.

Handheld Metal Detectors: To ensure nothing was missed, traditional handheld detectors were deployed to catch small, shallow metallic objects that the broader, deeper-sensing equipment might bypass.

The Results:
Over a three-week period, the combination of high-precision instruments and shallow-target sweeping successfully mapped out the sites.

Precision Excavation: GeoView provided comprehensive site maps and coordinates for each anomaly, allowing the archeological team to precisely excavate and document these invaluable historical artifacts before construction commenced.

Uncovering Ancient Artifacts: Advanced Geophysics for Cultural Preservation 🏺🗺️

Before major infrastructure projects begin, ensuring that history isn't lost under the pavement is a vital step. GeoView took part in an extensive archeological investigation along a proposed pipeline route stretching from the Cordillera de Mérida mountain range in northeastern Colombia toward the Pacific Ocean.

The Mission:
Our team was tasked with surveying twelve distinct areas, each approximately 2,400 square meters, to identify buried Pre-Columbian artifacts prior to pipeline construction. The targets included everything from historic metal tools and pottery to ancient gold ear and nose rings.

The Technology:
Because the targets varied in material and depth, we utilized a multi-method geophysical approach across the grass and light underbrush terrain:

Frequency Domain Electromagnetics (EM-38): Using a Geonics EM38-MK2 in a vertical dipole orientation, we mapped soil bulk conductivity and inphase readings down to about 1.5 meters, capturing both ferrous (iron-bearing) and non-ferrous metals.

Total Field Magnetics: A Geometrics G-859 Cesium Vapor magnetometer was used to look deeper into the subsurface—sensitivities ranged from 2 to 5 meters depending on the target’s size and orientation.

Handheld Metal Detectors: To ensure nothing was missed, traditional handheld detectors were deployed to catch small, shallow metallic objects that the broader, deeper-sensing equipment might bypass.

The Results:
Over a three-week period, the combination of high-precision instruments and shallow-target sweeping successfully mapped out the sites.
