SERVICE: ENGINEERING GEOPHYSICS: DYKE INVESTIGATION
NEW TECHNOLOGIES IN FLOOD MANAGEMENT
Geoelectrical ground investigations now are part of the standard dyke renovation programs.
The first investigation step is a large-scale geoelectrical prospection of sections along the longitudinal axis of the dyke.
For detailed investigations, we offer various special procedures.
IP soundings are useful for the determination of geotechnical parameters and the geological conditions inside the dyke body.
Complex structures can be imaged by means of geoelectrical tomography.
Of course, topographic correction is included in all geoelectrical prospection work at dykes.
