Using This Equipment
For more information and to utilize this equipment, please contact Andrew Nyblade.
Equipment full name: Syscal Pro Switch 48 Resistivity
Description
The ERI is an all-in-one multi-node resistivity and induction polarization imaging system. The Pro offers a maximum 1,000V transmitting pulse (2,000V peak to peak), at up to 2.5A, for a total of 250W of transmitting power. The multi-electrode imaging system supports up to 120 electrodes on a single line at 10m spacing.
Features
- A 10-channel resistivity meter
- Allows for simultaneously obtaining a set of 10 measurements and performs automatic switching of the electrodes
- Equipped with software that allows the user to:
- Create 2D/3D-surface/borehole measurement sequences
- Create some sequences of measurements, manually or automatically (with an estimated maximum investigation depth specified by the user)
- A specific mode that allows for continuous logging, specially designed for marine applications
Example Applications
- Groundwater mapping
- Fresh/saltwater contact determination
- Depth to bedrock measurements
- Thickness of bedrock alterations
- Aquifer layers- determination of depth and thickness
- Pollution monitoring (Jeremy, not sure what pollution monitoring means??)
- Location and imaging of buried structures
- Detection and characterization of sub-surface cavities
- Geotechnical applications-detection/location of clayey layers
Rental Cost includes:
- Written standard operating procedures
- Training on use, calibration, and maintenance as appropriate (as needed-depends on length of rental period)
