Geophysical services - The physical characteristic of the earth’s subsurface is of utmost importance to entities willing to learn and benefit from the resources beneath it. The geological structure of a land, its mineral content and volume, its volatility to disaster and many more can all be deciphered without necessarily engaging in an excavation.
The act of providing information that fits into the above description is what we call geophysical service. As a fully-fledged mining company with an overall interest in the geological structure of the earth, Wasia African Mining Co. Ltd engages in all forms of geophysical investigation for varieties of clients and markets.
Be it onshore and offshore projects, groundwater mappings, archaeological research, mineral exploration and other earth-related activities, we will provide you with the best team of specialists to collaborate with. By contacting us for your geophysical investigations, you would have successfully eliminated the chances of overlooking critical subsurface conditions.
At Wasia mining, we integrate geophysical data with other investigation methods to extract highly-detailed information about the site in question. All our geophysical services are laced with proper planning, top-notch performance and quality output.
Below are some of the geophysical services we offer:
- Infrastructure constructions:
Before the construction of huge infrastructures (railway tracks, tunnels, highways, bridges, factories and others in that category), geophysical investigations are conducted to examine the physical condition of the site and whether or not the land is a good fit for such project. We have conducted such investigations in the past and we will also be willing to proffer this service to you.
- Mineral Exploration:
Minerals abound in virtually every part of the country. However, it is only logical to mine on sites with the economic quantity. By applying the knowledge of geophysics to study the site’s subsurface, vital information like bedrock quality, sediment thickness, rock rippability and the quantity of the minerals can be ascertained.
- Water Exploration:
Some projects require the site under investigation to have a large water reservoir. With geophysics, not only can you carefully map out the water reservoir in the subsurface, but you can also ascertain whether the reservoir has been contaminated by natural or manmade disasters.
- Archaeological Investigations:
Through archaeological investigations for graveyards, ruins, lost treasures and relics of past civilizations are mainly executed by excavation, they are usually preceded by geophysical investigations. Geophysical investigations prevent archaeologists and builders from endless digging and the destruction of artifacts respectively.
Our Geophysical Techniques
The available geophysical methods vary in strength and weakness. Depending on the needed information, we know just the right geophysical method that should be used on your site.
Below are some of the methods we use:
- Ground Penetration Radar
- Seismic reflection investigations
- Borehole Logging
- Electromagnetic Metal Detection
- Electrical Resistivity Topography
- Ground Magnetic Survey
- Magnetic Resonance Sounding
- Marine Geophysical Investigation
The knowledge derived from geophysical investigations is crucial to individuals/entities willing to invest in any earth-related project.
At Wasia African Mining Co. Ltd, we perform due diligence at all times before concluding any land-related investigations. If you would like to learn more about geophysical services and how we can be of help, contact us now.
