An evocative video combining the oral history of one of Wales’ most important industrial sites with a 3D digital model created from laser scan surveys are preserving its heritage for future generations as well as connecting local communities with their … Read More
TerraDat reveals ‘Port Talbot’s Pompeii’ at Margam Park
TerraDat was privileged to conduct the geophysical survey at Margam Country Park that revealed a substantial Roman villa While much of our work involves commercial geophysical surveys for infrastructure and engineering developments, it was wonderful to collaborate closely with archaeologists … Read More
An interview with TerraDat co-founder Nick Russill
In this interview with Alan Wick, originally broadcast on his radio show, you will hear from TerraDat co-founder Nick Russill about: How to continue to grow your business by innovating and staying agile Why it’s important to sometimes say ‘No’ … Read More
Slope Stability: Understanding Slope Stability using Geophysics
TerraDat has developed a strategy for investigating slope stability that provides key engineering properties for managing and monitoring existing and potential landslides. While each site is considered unique with respect to the survey design, the methods that most often prove … Read More
River Crossings: Profiling Geology using Geophysics
Many of our clients constructing roads, laying pipelines or investigating historic bridges find profiling the geology beneath rivers tricky using conventional ground investigation methods. Since the path rivers take is often dictated by changes in geology, the problem can be … Read More
Seismic Reflection
TerraDat has specialist experience in designing and implementing high-resolution seismic reflection surveys for onshore and shallow marine environments. The company routinely carries out seismic survey work for geotechnical and environmental applications as well as larger-scale work for oil/mineral exploration. … Read More
Experienced Ground Radar (GPR) Company
TerraDat has been a GPR survey company since the technique evolved to a level where it could be applied to a wide range of applications over 20 years ago. Because the GPR method involves analysis of wave-form data, our experience … Read More
Magnetics
The magnetic survey technique is based on mapping localised variations in the Earth’s magnetic field caused by sub-surface magnetic materials, which range from naturally occurring magnetic minerals to man-made ferrous objects. This leads to a wide range of applications, from … Read More
Ground Conductivity (EM)
A ground conductivity or electromagnetic (EM) survey involves the generation of an EM field at the surface and subsequent measuring of the response as it propagates through the subsurface. The main components of the instrument are a transmitter coil (to … Read More
