Geophysical surveys help in providing us with continuous information across the survey area helping to identify variability of ground conditions, which can be further studied using geotechnical investigations mitigating risks. These tests help in designing the structures to withstand forces of wind, seismicity etc.
Detecting the underground services both onshore and offshore are important to decide the project area and corridors. Alhoty can help in this detection using several combinations of geophysical methods.
Bahrain’s limestone bedrocks are known to consist karst features such as cavities which pose serious problems to construction projects. These cavities are not visible in ground level or in shallow excavations. Geophysical methods can be used to detect such cavities and to decide on the proper mitigation methods.
