Ground Stability Investigations

Whether it is evaluating aging infrastructure, planning for a critical crane lift, providing early detection for potential sinkholes, or identifying caverns/tunnels, understanding the load bearing characteristics and identifying other ground stability concerns can be a crucial part of any project. Geophysical surveys can assist engineers identify potential risks and provide information to plan projects accordingly. The primary methodologies utilized by CSR GeoSurveys Ltd. for ground stability investigations include ground penetrating radar (GPR), seismic, electrical resistivity tomography (ERT), and gravity.
