High-Resolution Ground Geophysics: Open Ground Resources Leads the Way

Open Ground Resources provides innovative and precise geophysical solutions for subsurface challenges. Explore our case studies to see the impactful projects we’ve delivered, and view our photo gallery to witness our professional team in action, utilising advanced geophysical techniques.

Who We Are

OPEN GROUND RESOURCES specializes in the provision of high-resolution ground geophysics for shallow subsurface site characterization, by using state of the art technology, software and technical experience. Site-appropriate geophysical techniques best suited to a specific geological/geotechnical environment are combined to provide cost-effective solutions.

Our Services

“Typical engineering geophysical services include geophysical site characterisation for large infrastructure projects – such as nuclear, hydroelectric and water supply dams, solar plants and wind farms as well as sinkhole detection. We also apply geophysical surveys on Tailings Storage Facilities (TSFs) for geotechnical investigations. These investigations include techniques such as Seismic Refraction, MASW and Electrical Resistivity Tomography to map geological structures, depth to bedrock, bedrock seismic velocity and soil electrical resistivity to assist with geotechnical investigations.”
