Picking the Right Geophysical Gear for the Job
Precision is non-negotiable when it comes to subsurface investigation. Whether you’re working on utility locating, geological mapping, environmental studies, or concrete scanning, the right geophysical equipment makes all the difference. At Environmental Equipment & Supply, we offer a complete range of geophysical rentals from industry-leading manufacturers like GSSI, Geometrics, Geonics, and AGI, which are designed for professionals who demand accuracy and performance in the field.
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR): Subsurface Imaging, Simplified
GPR systems are the go-to tools for non-invasive investigation of underground features. Ideal for locating utilities, voids, and changes in material properties, our GPR units include:
- GSSI SIR 3000 and SIR 4000 control units
- Survey carts with 270 MHz, 400 MHz, and 900 MHz antennas
- Rugged platforms for construction, archaeology, and utility mapping
- StructureScan Mini, Mini XT, and Mini LXT for concrete scanning applications
GPR provides high-resolution data in real-time and is essential for utility locating, rebar detection, and structural analysis in concrete. Whether you need a standard survey cart or a compact configuration, we have the setup to match your project requirements.
Resistivity & Seismic Systems: Deep Subsurface Insight
For deeper geophysical surveys, we rent resistivity systems such as the AGI SuperSting R8, a flexible, Wi-Fi-enabled platform ideal for soil characterization, environmental site assessments, and mineral exploration.
We also offer Four Point Ground Resistivity Meters (Model AEMC 4630) for fast and reliable measurements. When seismic investigation is required, you’ll find everything from geophones to Geometrics Geodes for monitoring ground movement and wave propagation.
Electromagnetic (EM) Conductivity Meters: Fast, Non-Invasive Mapping
Our fleet includes the most trusted names in electromagnetic geophysics, perfect for conductivity mapping and metal detection:
- Geonics EM31-MK2 – Effective in detecting large-scale conductivity contrasts
- Geonics EM38-MK2 – Optimized for shallow subsurface investigations
- Geonics EM61-MK2A – A high-resolution time-domain metal detector capable of locating ferrous and non-ferrous metals, even in highly mineralized soils
These EM tools are widely used in environmental site characterization, UXO detection, and geotechnical surveys.
Concrete Scanning: Non-Destructive, High-Resolution Imaging
Need to find rebar, post-tension cables, or conduits in concrete? Our GSSI StructureScan line is purpose-built for fast and effective concrete scanning:
- Lightweight and field-ready
- Provides real-time imagery for accurate depth and location of embedded materials
- Ideal for structural inspections, renovations, and coring applications
