SEP Geophysical

Seismic refraction surveys are an efficient and cost-effective way to investigate the shallow subsurface. They are often used to determine depth to bedrock, locate buried channels or other features & map geologic structures. To learn more, contact us at info@sepgeophysical.com

How much do you know about Electromagnetic Mapping? EM mapping is a great tool for exploring potential resources or hazards, but it's not the only tool in the geophysical toolbox! If you're interested in learning more get in touch with our team at info@sepgeophysical.co.uk

🌍 Swing by Stand 45 at Geotechnica and meet the SEP Geophysical team (while picking up some freebies on the way!) #Geotechnica2023 #SEPGeophysical

🌊 Rise and shine! Our team has been working (very) early mornings this past week, conducting a seismic refraction survey in an intertidal zone. 💡 Curious about other geophysical techniques we use? Reach out to our knowledgeable team at info@sepgeophysical.co.uk.

📅 Are you ready for the UK's premier geotechnical event next week? As the largest and most prestigious conference in the field, Geotechnica is an opportunity not to be missed. See you there! #Geotechnica2023 #SEPGeophysical

⚠️ Last month, our team faced a high-stakes situation! A mineshaft collapsed close to a major pipeline. Our team deployed EM and GPR techniques to attempt to map if there was any further voids or mineshafts. #mineshaftcollapse #voiddetection

Get ready for the UK's largest geotechnical event! Join us at Geotechnica, 5-6th July, where we'll be showcasing how our geophysical solutions can be an invaluable tool for intrusive investigations. See you there! #Geotechnica2023 #SEPGeophysical

Our Junior Geophysicist Gregor recently attended Subsurface Success, a training course on the specialist GPR processing software Geolitix. We're thankful to Allied Associates, Trace Structural Investigations, and Geolitix for providing this wonderful opportunity!

Geophysical methods can be used for a variety of environmental applications, from mapping underground water resources to assessing the environmental impacts of construction projects.

Have you ever wondered what lies beneath the surface of a busy city? Recently we collaborated with @sepsurvey to explore a site in central Manchester and map buried obstructions and remnant structures that could hinder proposed development.

Do you have a survey project in a complicated area? At SEP Geophysical, we thrive on challenging projects and our personnel are trained to work in confined spaces, navigate areas with specific water hygiene requirements and even build temporary scaffolding towers.

🔍 You've heard of a needle in a haystack, but what about finding a buried manhole cover in a wood?

6 months ago we welcomed Gregor Airey to our team as a Junior Geophysicist. "I've had the best learning environment I could ask for - lots of time spent in the field collecting data and in the office processing it. It's been great to see our jobs progress from start to finish!"

Recently we undertook a Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) survey at St. Patrick’s Church, Toxteth in order to map unmarked graves ahead of further archaeological investigation. The church graveyard only measures ~50 x 50 m but is believed to contain over 15,000 burials.

Our very own Tom Smith has been up in Grange-over-Sands assisting with a field course organised by Durham University. It's great to be able to share our expertise and skills with the next generation of geophysicists!

There are a few common challenges that can arise when carrying out geophysical surveys, such as adverse weather conditions, access restrictions and the presence of buried utilities.

Whether you're looking for buried objects or mapping the subsurface, proper planning is essential to ensure an effective GPR survey. Here are a few tips: - Define the scope of the project - Determine the goals of the survey - Develop a survey plan - Identify potential obstacles

Geophysical methods are a valuable tool for archaeologists. By non-intrusively mapping the subsurface it is possible to build a detailed idea of what's going on before a spade enters the ground - minimising the disruption of any potential features of archaeological significance!
