WELL LOGGING
We offer a full-suite of geophysical logs for well completion baselines, rehabilitations, maintenance programs and assessments. Our consulting capabilities include coastal salinity monitoring and USDW explorations, among others. Small diameters are not a problem, although we frequently log large wells to depths of 3000 feet. Our portable winch carries 500 feet of cable for limited access sites.

MINERAL EXPLORATION
We provide geological expertise for mineral exploration programs. Our field services include onsite logging and visual classification of field samples, along with downhole geophysics within the exploration test hole. In the office we perform geological interpretations of local formations, 3D modeling of mineral resources and resource volumetrics, and prepare authoritative reports of findings. We can mobilize to any site in North America.

HYDROGRAPHIC EXPLORATION
We provide economical professional-quality maps and digital datasets of ponds, lakes, rivers and estuaries using low-cost sonars. Our vessels include an 18-foot shallow water skiff for very large areas, or a SimpleUnmanned USV equipped with autonavigation and telemetry for smaller and/or limited access explorations (<200 acres). We use a recorded sonar track log from a Lowrance® HDS fishfinder to create maps of bathymetry, bottom composition, bottom vegetation, and sidescan imagery in combination with Hydromagic®, SonarTRX®, ReefMaster® and Biobase® software.
​
Our USV is equipped with an Emlid M2 RTK GNSS module that can be combined with a Reach RS2+ base for centimeter level mapping precisions. We establish the base location with centimeter level precision using a Trimble Catalyst DA2. Location data from the M2 is streamed to an onboard PC and Hydromagic software as well as to a Lowrance HDS-7 using a NMEA0183 network connection.
​
Our marine mapping services are ideal for monitoring changing conditions in aquatic environments related to 1) vegetative growth (hydrilla) or decline (seagrass), 2) mine pit water volumes and materials removed, 3) pond or canal sedimentation buildup, 4) muck discovery and mapping, and 5) archeaological reconnaissance, particularly with sidescan sonar mosaics, among others.
