Featured products

Integrated Geophysical Survey Solutions

Combining georadar and magnetometer technologies on a single platform revolutionizes subsurface investigation capabilities. These integrated systems provide complementary data sets that enhance detection accuracy and reduce survey time. Dual-sensor configurations eliminate the need for multiple flights while delivering comprehensive geophysical data for complex projects.

Archaeological and Heritage Site Documentation

Professional archaeologists rely on combined georadar-magnetometer systems for non-invasive site investigation. The magnetometer detects ferrous artifacts and fired clay structures, while GPR reveals stone foundations, burial chambers, and stratigraphic layers. This multi-modal approach provides complete archaeological site characterization without excavation.

Utility Infrastructure Mapping

Municipal and engineering applications benefit from integrated detection capabilities that identify both metallic and non-metallic utilities. GPR locates plastic pipes, fiber optics, and concrete structures, while magnetometry pinpoints metal pipes, manholes, and buried infrastructure. Combined data processing creates comprehensive utility maps for safe excavation planning.

Advanced processing algorithms correlate GPR and magnetic data to reduce false positives and improve target identification accuracy in urban environments.

Geological and Environmental Surveys

Geological applications leverage the complementary nature of electromagnetic and magnetic sensing for mineral exploration and environmental site assessment. GPR characterizes soil layers and groundwater conditions, while magnetometry maps geological structures and potential contamination sources.

Real-Time Data Integration and Processing

Modern combo systems feature synchronized data acquisition with GPS positioning for precise georeferencing. Real-time visualization allows operators to adjust survey parameters during flight missions. Advanced software suites provide integrated processing workflows that combine GPR and magnetic data for enhanced interpretation capabilities.

Frequently asked questions

What is the cost of a complete georadar magnetometer combo system?

Professional combo systems range from €150,000 to €400,000 depending on sensor specifications, drone platform, and software packages. Contact our specialists for detailed quotations based on your specific survey requirements.

Do I need special licenses to operate geophysical survey drones?

Yes, commercial drone operations require EASA certification and specific authorizations for specialized payloads. We provide guidance on regulatory compliance and can recommend certified training providers for professional operations.

Can these systems detect utilities through concrete and asphalt?

GPR effectively penetrates concrete and asphalt to detect underlying utilities, while magnetometers identify ferrous objects through most surface materials. Detection depth depends on material properties and target characteristics.

What flight altitude is optimal for combo geophysical surveys?

Typical survey altitudes range from 3-15 meters above ground level, depending on sensor specifications and target depth. Lower altitudes provide higher resolution but require slower flight speeds for adequate data quality.

How do weather conditions affect geophysical drone surveys?

Wind speeds above 10 m/s can affect data quality due to platform stability. Rain and high humidity may impact GPR performance. Magnetometer operations are less weather-sensitive but require magnetically quiet conditions.

What data formats do these systems output?

Systems typically output standard formats including SEG-Y for GPR data, XYZ coordinates for magnetic data, and integrated GIS-compatible formats. Most systems include professional processing software with export capabilities for CAD and mapping applications.
