Geophysical Investigation of Sites (GEO)
Geophysical Investigation of Sites (GEO) involves using specialized techniques to examine what's beneath the Earth's surface without digging. It helps identify subsurface features such as rock layers, faults, water tables, and buried objects. Techniques like seismic, magnetic, and electrical surveys allow engineers and scientists to gather detailed information about the site’s geology, ensuring foundations are stable and safe for construction or determining potential hazards. GEO provides critical data for planning, reducing risks, and optimizing site development, making it a vital step in responsible engineering and environmental assessment.
