The integration of geophysical data with other investigation methods provides an enhanced understanding of the site conditions. The overall outcome is lower costs and risk reduction.
The desired depth of investigation, resolution and the geology determine which geophysical method being the most suitable. Most of the geophysical methods have the advantage that they are non-intrusive and leaving none or very few evidence from the geophysical activities in the area. At the same time geophysical methods are truly in-situ methods since the ground is not disturbed by the measurement. Therefore geophysics provides a very important tool in the investigation toolbox.
Ramboll has a very large pool of instruments operated by skilled geophysicists making it straight forward for us to choose the best method and to set the right team for the specific assignment.
Applications of geophysical methods
The application of geophysical methods within Ramboll ranges from geotechnical applications such as foundation for buildings, infrastructure site investigation surveys to offshore wind farm and environmental studies.
Infrastructure and building constructions
Geophysical investigations have become an integrated part of the geotechnical site investigation for foundations, tunnels, and highways. Ramboll has performed numerous on- and offshore geophysical investigations and has for example played a key role in understanding the geology in preparation for establishing the Fehmarn Belt Fixed Link tunnel between Denmark and Germany.
