ClearView Geophysics Inc. offers geophysical consulting
and surveys as part of your environmental investigations.

There are many and diverse environmental problems: Pollution and
contamination to land, water and air.
ClearView Geophysics Inc. applies its geophysical expertise to ground
investigations as part of site audits and assessments,

Geophysical methods are used to image ground properties.  These properties
can vary vertically and laterally as a result of soil, fill, former
structures, pipes/utilities, surface metal interference or porewater
properties.  Typically, background readings are taken beyond fill or
contaminated areas so that their boundaries can be properly delineated.

Selection of the appropriate tool is site and situation selective.

Typically:

Sites that are generally open and over 1 hectare in size, a
Geonics EM31 Ground Conductivity survey is often recommended.

Sites where buried metal is the main target, a
Geonics EM61 Metal Detection survey is recommended.

If the area of investigation is too cluttered or covered with concrete
containing rebar, a GPR (ground penetrating radar) survey is
recommended either stand-alone or to complement the EM results.

These surveys are often immediately followed-up by Pipe & Utility Locates.

Our in-house data processing software and expert data acquisition practices
lets us present high quality final results to the client, often the next
day!

Other techniques such as seismic and resistivity imaging surveys can also be used, depending on the type of information required.
