Service 01

Geophysical Survey

Groundwater investigation using electrical resistivity and related survey methods to locate viable aquifer zones and recommend a drilling point and depth range.

What this service involves

  • Site reconnaissance and access assessment.
  • Data collection using appropriate geophysical methods.
  • Data interpretation to confirm subsurface geology and aquifer zone identification.
  • Professional recommendations on drilling point, depth and casing type.
  • Handing over of geophysical survey report.

Benefits

  • Reduces the risk of drilling a dry or low-yield hole.
  • Supports better budgeting before mobilisation.
  • Provides documented technical evidence for approvals.

Our process

  1. 01Site visitWe inspect the land, access routes and existing water points.
  2. 02Data acquisitionResistivity readings are taken across selected traverses.
  3. 03InterpretationReadings are modelled to identify water-bearing formations.
  4. 04ReportYou receive the recommended point, depth range and next steps.

Common questions

Why is a geophysical survey important?

It identifies where water-bearing formations are most likely to occur, so drilling is guided by data rather than guesswork.

Can you survey a site you did not drill?

Yes. A survey can be carried out as a standalone service on any accessible site.
