Integrated geology and geophysics solutions for geotechnical engineering
Reliable subsurface data for engineering decisions.
What sets us apart
Geophysics and drilling data integrated in a single workflow.
Instead of delivering isolated tests, we combine geophysical methods with the project’s geotechnical data. We plan each campaign from the information already available for the site, apply the right method for each objective and deliver a continuous picture of the subsurface. Our in-house team works across Brazil, onshore and in shallow waters.
Integrated methods
Seismic, electrical, electromagnetic and marine methods in a single campaign.
Targeted campaigns
Existing data guides where and how to investigate before mobilization.
From field to interpretation
Acquisition, processing and interpretation by the same technical team.
3D ground model
With SpectraGround 3D, results are organized on our own platform.
Services
Non-invasive methods, selected for each objective
Seismic methods
MASW, crosshole, downhole, reflection and refraction. Vp, Vs, stiffness and layer thickness.
Electrical methods
VES, electrical profiling, IP and earth resistance testing. Resistivity, grounding, faults and cavities.
SpectraGround 3D
See beyond the borehole
Boreholes investigate points. MASW investigates profiles. SpectraGround 3D integrates 2D MASW, HVSR and geotechnical tests to investigate volumes, with project data organized on our own platform, already in operation.

Industries
Subsurface investigation for infrastructure
Power transmission
Grounding studies to NBR 7117-1, MASW+ for tower foundations and GPR along the route.
Construction and real estate
MASW+ and DCP for foundations, GPR for buried services, crosshole and downhole on larger projects.
Ports, offshore and renewables
Shallow seismic, bathymetry and sonar. MASW and resistivity at wind and solar farms.
Mining and steel

Case studies and publications
Applied knowledge from the field
Case study · Pulp and paper
Soil compaction verification with SPT, DMT and MASW+
The contract required 6 m; the integrated campaign showed effective compaction only to about 3 m.
