Marine seismic refraction data are\u00a0typically collected for hydroelectric and engineering projects where the depth to competent bedrock and information on fracture or shear zones is critical.<\/p>\n

Geophysics GPR specializes in marine seismic refraction surveys for engineering, geotechnical and geological investigations.<\/h4>\n

The marine refraction method can\u00a0map the bedrock depth in areas not accessible by drilling platforms, whether due to safety, logistical or environmental issues.<\/p>\n

The refraction method involves measuring the shortest time required for an induced seismic pulse to travel from the source location to a series of receivers. From this travel time data, seismic velocities and layer depths can be calculated.<\/p>\n

The theory behind\u00a0the \u00a0method extends seamlessly into marine environments; however, the added complications of working in such environments, from quiet lakes to unnavigable whitewater rivers, requires\u00a0the vast\u00a0experience of GPR's experts for safe, efficient and quality\u00a0data collection.<\/p>\n
