Geophysical Equipment Vertical Electrical Sounding VES Resistivity Meter For Geotechnical Survey and subsurface geophysical investigation
All resistivity methods can be applied for studying variations of resistivity with depth (depth sounding methods) or for studying lateral changes in resistivity (horizontal profiling methods). The vertical electrical resistivity sounding methods (VES) are depth sounding galvanic methods.
The Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) has proved very popular with groundwater prospecting and engineering investigations due to simplicity of the techniques. The electrical geophysical survey method is the detection of the surface effects produced by the flow of electric current inside the earth. The electrical techniques have been used in a wide range of geophysical investigations such as mineral exploration, engineering studies, geothermal exploration, archeological investigations, permafrost mapping and geological mapping.
