Equipment
AquaEarth makes use of a wide variety of geophysical equipment in their investigation in order to provide the best possible assessment of local geological conditions.
Our Geovista four arm borehole caliper allows us to caliper measure boreholes up to 1.5m diameter and 600m depth allowing the determination of borehole volumes as well as enhancing the borehole construction design with accurate depth and weathering information.
