Magnetometer G-858
Buried Metal Detection (UXO, UST, Barrels, Pipelines)
Magnetometer surveys measure small, localized variations in the Earth's magnetic field. Strong local magnetic fields or anomalies are produced by steel objects buried in the ground, such as tanks, drums, piles and reinforced concrete foundations.
Applications
•
UST detection
•
Buried ferrous metal detection (e.g., drums, pipelines, and well-heads)
•
Utility locating
•
UXO detection
•
Minerals exploration
•
Environmental investigation
•
Archaeological and forensic investigation
Advantages
•
High sensitivity – easily detect a single drum buried 6 meters
•
Cover two acres per hour at 2 meter line spacing
•
Passive electronics, non-invasive and non-hazardous
•
Gradiometer configuration enhances the precision of the survey and the definition and delineation of small magnetic anomalies
•
Combined with EM-61 enhances geophysical anomaly characterization
