GEOPHYSICAL SURVEYS OF
HYDROENGINEERING STRUCTURES AND PONDS.
BASINS:
Surveys in transition zones (examination of
geological structure of ponds bottom from the
water edge line up to 10 meter)
Study of water-passes geological structure
Determining depth (pond bottom 3-D model
making)
Determining thickness of silt deposits
Locating littered zones of ponds
Surveying underwater pipelines
HYDROENGINEERING STRUCTURES:
Engineering geological surveys for
hydroengineering structure construction
Concrete structures survey
Detecting filtration zones
Study of engineering geological environment
of zones adjacent to hydroengineering
structures
The importance of geophysical surveys for ponds
is growing in hard-to-reach places, rugged
topography conditions and deep bogginess. The
equipment is quite mobile and ensures surveys in
hard conditions, makes it possible to obtain
persistent information on the main elements of
geologic structure and physical and mechanical
environment properties.
Application of GPR methods makes it possible to
project measures of pond bottom cleaning, disclose
heterogeneous objects, project coastal zone. Within
the framework of reconstruction programs of
Moscow and Moscow region water bodies the
specialists of GEOTECH have examined more than
30 water bodies.
