Electrical Resistivity Test
The Electrical Resistivity Test is a geophysical investigation method used to measure the electrical resistance of soil and rock formations beneath the ground surface. The test helps identify subsurface conditions, groundwater availability, soil stratification, rock depth, and potential geological anomalies without the need for extensive excavation or drilling.
By passing a controlled electrical current through the ground and measuring the resulting potential difference, engineers and geologists can assess the resistivity characteristics of different soil and rock layers. This information is valuable for site investigations, groundwater exploration, foundation planning, and environmental studies.
Key Applications:
Groundwater Exploration
Geotechnical Site Investigation
Depth to Bedrock Determination
Soil Stratification Studies
Dam and Reservoir Investigations
Environmental and Contamination Assessments
Earthing and Grounding System Design
Benefits:
