Geophysics

Geophysical services form Smoy’s other main service. Smoy pioneered in applied geophysics already in the 1930s. Geophysical surveys are carried out on the ground surface and in drill holes and in some cases also in underground spaces. The surveying methods of Smoy comprise versatile measurements for mineral exploration and engineering.

Smoy’s surveying teams are highly experienced professionals. Smoy’s surveying equipment represents the latest commercially available technology. Nearly all equipment comes with automatic data acquisition. The surveying results are read daily into a computer at the base to verify the quality and forward the data by email and mobile telephone. The data are processed by advanced applications without delay at the Smoy office and relayed promptly to the customer in the requested form.

Geophysical services of Smoy:

  • Survey planning
