Seismic Analysis & Monitoring

From scientific mapping of the subsurface to millimetric control of blast vibration — two branches within a single engineering discipline: seismic surveying and seismic monitoring.

Our Approach

One Discipline, Two Branches

In seismic surveying we are not tied to a single method; we choose the technology best suited to the site's geology. Whether the controlled vibration power of Vibroseis vehicles or the high energy density of seismic dynamite — the goal is to deliver the most transparent and reliable map of subsurface resources.

We apply the same scientific discipline to the environmental impact of blasting operations: ground vibration and air overpressure are continuously monitored and reported against international limit curves.

Branch 1 — Seismic Surveying

Subsurface Modeling Technologies

Vibroseis Source

In environmentally sensitive areas, low-impact, high-resolution data through controlled vibration.

Seismic Dynamite Source

High energy density with Solar Industries-technology solutions in deep exploration projects.

Data Acquisition

Calibrated recording and signal quality matched to site geometry through geophone arrays.

Data Processing & Modeling

Transformation of the subsurface structure into interpretable sections and models.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Vibroseis or seismic dynamite?

It is chosen according to the site's geology and environmental sensitivity; Vibroseis stands out in sensitive areas, seismic dynamite in deep exploration.

Which standard is used to assess blast vibration?

It is measured with the scaled-distance approach; USBM RI 8507, DIN 4150 and TSE limit curves are used as the basis.

Do you report the monitoring data?

Yes; a documented report including PPV, air overpressure and compliance assessment is delivered.
