Equipment choice guide
For the short comparison of our products by several criteria please see below:
– resolution:
1) SibER tools variable resolution depends of spacing between electrodes, with the minimal measurement spot size being 0,25 m.
2) AEMP-14 and Geovizer measuring resolution depends of on frequency – measurement spot size depends of step also. Steel disc of 0,2 m diameter can be detected in shallow near surface media, as well plastic pipes of 5 cm diameter etc.
3) GRT-2X depth resolution – up to 2 cm, minimal target size 7,5 cm. GRT-81 depth resolution – up to 2mm, minimal target size 3,5 cm.
– ergonomics:
1) SibER tools – need to ground the device with electrodes into ground, 2-3 person crew work is needed.
2) AEMP-14 weight is about 10 kg, 2,5 m length. Geovizer weight is about 4,5 kg and 0,7 m length.
3) TerraZond GRT-2X weight is 12 kg and it works usually with special cart, car or autonomous crawler.
– data visualization:
1) 2D or 3D distribution of specific resistivity and polarization for SibER tools.
2) 2D or 3D (quasi) imaging of apparent resistivity and signal phase shifting for AEMP-14 and Geovizer.
3) 2D – as interpolated traces per profile by 1-31 profiles and tomographic 3D (real) – as synthetic radio image.
– options for data interpretation:
1) Specific resistivity distribution describes geological layers; location of cavities and big metal objects; provides gives detailed geological and engineering information. Special software for interpretation (solving inversion model) is needed.
2) Apparent resistivity and phase shifting data could help to locate anomalies caused by buried metallic or other objects: buried walls, voids, communications etc.
3) Easy to read radio image as 3D points or as slices with high resolution – 7.5х7.5cm for 2.5m depth with GRT-2X and 3.5×3.5 cm for 1m depth with GRT-81.
– limitations:
1) Deeper exploration needs bigger space and length of measuring profile, so little area could be scan only for small depth. Grounding resistance on electrodes must be reasonably low and equal along the electrodes string. We will provide information on how to get this.
2) For clear interpretation – the good contrast between background and an object is needed. Thus, main limitation is to survey in low contrast ground conditions – for example, it is not easy to find using SibER device in only resistivity mode alone a plastic target in sand, since the both background and object are resistive. However, such a task can be solved using induced polarization, or in near surface case – by electromagnetic instruments or GPR.
3) High frequency fades out in wet soil and water.
How to buy the equipment
There are two ways to purchase SiberGeo products: you can make quote request directly from the Product page or buy from the local Distributors whose contact info can be found on “Information” page from the map or useful links.
What forms of payment we accept?
We accept standard bank transfer for all payments. Final order price in invoice includes all costs except import taxes and duties, which are usually paid upon receipt of the goods. If you don’t know your country’s import terms, please contact your local customs office for the info.
What are the delivery terms?
If all components of order are available on stock – it will normally ship in 7-14 business day after we receive a full payment. If components immediate availability is limited delivery time could take 1-4 month. Exact terms of delivery will be specified in Order Invoice. Standard delivery as CPT term ships as air-freight to your nearest international airport. Delivery by DHL and FedEx usually takes 2-5 days after export registry.
