Geophysics in Geotechnics Symposium
22nd September 2011
at The Drilling Academy, nr. Banbury
Delegate Fee = FREE to attend
09:00 - 17:00
Geophysics has often received bad press but through choosing the right techniques in the right environment it can be an invaluable tool to enhance any project.
The seminar will increase the awareness regarding the correct use of geophysics for non-invasive investigations, structural and geological mapping and ground modelling which can provide an in depth and continuous understanding of both surface and subsurface conditions and can also reduce the risk of underground hazards and optimise budgets.
Symposium Content
• Key points when scheduling geophysics
• Using geophysics to manage risk
• Overview of surface techniques
• Overview of down-hole techniques
• Advantages and limitations of techniques
