Geophysical Survey Company – TerraDat (UK) Ltd
Geophysics can be used to rapidly and non-destructively map many shallow engineering, environmental, geological or geotechnical targets. The links below show some of the more popular applications for geophysical surveying; however, this is not an exhaustive list. TerraDat has many years of experience at the forefront of the industry and is adept at adapting and innovating surveys to suit a particular target.

Addressing the growing challenge of environmentally compliant landfill management, TerraDat provides expert geophysical survey services for both active and closed landfill sites. Our advanced, non-invasive techniques deliver high-resolution insights into landfill composition and boundaries, surpassing traditional methods in efficiency and
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
Mapping peat is a common requirement for proposed developments such as wind farms and pipeline routes where they cross remote and/or sensitive areas. There are several geophysical methods that can provide plan and cross-sectional information to map the distribution of
Click for more information on investigations for Solar Farms Archaeology beneath solar farms TerraDat provides geophysical services to the renewable energy industry, including wind and solar farms. We employ techniques for investigating the ground beneath these developments to assist with
As part of our services for energy and infrastructure, TerraDat regularly carries out soil resistivity measurements for earthing installation design and corrosion engineering. These resistivity measurements are made by passing a DC electrical current through the ground using a pair
TerraDat is regularly contacted by ground engineers asking about our void detection surveys using geophysics. The benefits of our geophysical surveys in terms of maximum area coverage and minimal ground disturbance provide an ideal solution. The best geophysical methods for
Most former industrial sites have a legacy of buried structural hazards and contamination. Geophysical surveys can detect buried targets without the need to excavate. Many industrial contaminants, such as salinisation by acids and hydrocarbon plumes, can leave a significant geophysical
CHECK OUT OUR NEW DEDICATED ARCHAEOLOGICAL GEOPHYSICS WEBSITE TerraDat’s archaeological geophysics team is uniquely placed to draw on decades of experience in applied geophysics and archaeological surveying. TerraDat’s approach uses our fully-trained geophysicists to deal with the geophysics while our
The problem of mapping shallow abandoned mine workings is significant in the re-development of brownfield sites or land reclamation in former mining areas. A TerraDat Geophysics survey can mitigate the risks of mapping mine workings using conventional ground investigation methods.
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
Over recent years TerraDat have gained a wealth of experience providing geophysical services to the wind energy industry. By working alongside many major wind farm developers TerraDat have developed a suite of geophysical techniques ideally suited to the needs of
Pipelines and cable routes present a set of unique developmental and geotechnical challenges. TerraDat has designed an integrated survey approach, providing data useful to all stages of the project design. Archaeological assessments and UXO detection: Due to the large distances
