Geophysical surveys investigate the physical properties of the ground by the use of instrumentation, providing information on subsurface ground conditions not evident from the ground surface, for all types of practical engineering applications. Geophysical surveys are non-intrusive and non-invasive, and can help to avoid the disruption that can be caused by drilling, pitting and trenching. A geophysics investigation can cover large site areas rapidly to provide either reconnaissance data or a detailed investigation, and can optimise the targeting of any essential intrusive inspections. In environments where intrusive ground investigations are not possible, a geophysical investigation can still provide engineers with useful information.
We provide geological and geophysical surveys from our offices around the world and our geologists and geo-scientists are supported by advanced technologies, systems, and state-of-the-art equipment. We assist with determining ideal construction sequencing, preparing creative yet practical geotechnical solutions and our senior staff provide on-going support during construction.

Geological mapping is fundamental to any exploration project. Effective mineral exploration requires an in-depth understanding of the lithological and structural controls of mineralisation. These insights must be gained through geological mapping at the early stages of the exploration program.
Mapping is a cost-effective exploration tool and a project-generative process that delivers tangible benefits to all exploration programs. A good geological map not only provides focus to an exploration program, it also clearly communicates the economic potential of a project to stakeholders.
