Construction
Contractors have
many applications for geophysics. They use geophysics to find existing utilities, map rebar
in concrete, locate shallow groundwater, measure bedrock depth, rippability and much more. Contractors use geophysics for
the safety of excavation crews and to avoid damaging existing pipes.
Information provided by geophysics helps contractors confirm how things were
built. Potential problems such as shallow water or bedrock can be discovered
long before these conditions turn into expensive delays. Geophysical
information saves time and money by providing contractors with information on
what is underground. Better information on what is underground improves safety
and lowers construction costs.
