ZAP Consulting Engineers is actively involved with ongoing research in shallow seismic investigation techniques and their application for engineering problems. Seismic methods can provide detailed information about rock properties between boreholes, so, fewer boreholes are needed to achieve a continuous picture of the subsurface which reduces overall costs and the risk of missing target features. These methods can be classified as active and passive seismic techniques.
ACTIVE SEISMIC TECHNIQUES
BODY WAVE METHODS
- SEISMIC REFRACTION
- SEISMIC REFLECTION
- BOREHOLE SEISMIC
SURFACE WAVE METHODS
PASSIVE SEISMIC METHODS
H/V SPECTRAL RATIO TECHNIQUE
