Under Pressure: The Tech That Turns Earth’s Tremors into Data
When the ground shifts, even by a fraction of an inch, it tells a story. Seismic testing equipment is the technology that helps geophysicists, engineers, and environmental professionals listen. From geophones to full Geode seismic systems, these tools transform invisible vibrations into clear, usable data. If you want to uncover what’s hidden beneath the surface, seismic gear is where science and curiosity literally meet the ground.
At Environmental Equipment & Supply, we rent professional-grade seismic testing equipment, including the Geode 24-channel system, a full selection of 4.5 Hz, 10 Hz, and 28 Hz geophones, take-out cables in multiple spacing options, and the Geostuff Land Streamer. Whether you’re conducting refraction, MASW, reflection surveys, or reconnaissance work, we have the equipment to match your mission.
Why Seismic Testing Matters
Seismic testing helps you “see” below the earth without digging. By sending energy into the ground and recording how it travels through soil, rock, or sediment, you can:
- Map subsurface layers
- Identify bedrock depth
- Detect voids, fractures, and buried structures
- Characterize soils for engineering design
- Monitor earthquakes, blasts, or vibration sources
The goal is simple: gather reliable geophysical data with precision and speed. The right equipment makes that possible.
Geode Seismic Recorders: The Backbone of Modern Geophysics
The Geode is one of the most widely trusted seismic testing tools in the world and for good reason. It’s lightweight, rugged, and incredibly versatile, capable of handling everything from shallow refraction surveys to continuous vibration monitoring and earthquake recording.
Key advantages of the Geode system include:
- Up to 24 channels per module
- 24-bit dynamic range for high-resolution seismic imaging
- Ethernet-based digital data transmission
- Low power usage and long battery life
- 1.75 Hz to 20 kHz bandwidth to support nearly any seismic method
- Shock-proof, dust-proof, and submersible design
It’s everything geophysical professionals need: flexible, field-ready, and powerful enough to support detailed analysis back in the office.
Perfect for multiple seismic applications:
- Refraction
- Reflection
- MASW
- Blast monitoring
- Earthquake monitoring
- Sub-bottom profiling
If your project requires dependable geophysical equipment, a Geode system makes it easier to get high-quality results from the moment you begin gathering data.
Geophones: The Sensors That Capture Every Vibration
Geophones are the heartbeat of any seismic test. These small, rugged sensors convert ground motion into electrical signals. Depending on your goals, you can choose:
- 4.5 Hz geophones for deep refraction and MASW
- 10 Hz geophones for general-purpose seismic surveys
- 28 Hz geophones for higher-frequency, shallow applications
We offer complete sets compatible with all industry-standard take-out cables, ensuring clean, accurate signal capture.
Take-Out Cables: Connecting Your Spread with Precision
The spacing of your seismic array affects data quality. That’s why we offer:
- 5-ft take-out spacing for high-resolution work
- 10-ft spacing for standard geophysical layouts
- 20-ft spacing for large-scale surveys
These cables are built for the field, abrasion resistant, flexible, and ready to deploy.
Boost Field Productivity with the Geostuff Land Streamer
If you need fast, efficient MASW or refraction data collection, a land streamer is a game-changer. Instead of planting geophones individually, you tow an array across the ground, dramatically speeding up data collection. The land streamer is equipped with 4.5 Hz geophones at 5ft spacing.
Why professionals love land streamers:
- Highly productive: cover miles per day
- Kevlar-reinforced tow webbing for durability
- Stability from abrasion-resistant tripod bases
They’re perfect for reconnaissance surveys or large project areas where efficiency matters.
