SONIC DRILLING / 01SPECIALIST FIELD OPERATIONS
Precision in the field.
Discipline at every step.
Rossingh Geophysics specialises in the field execution of seismic source operations: sonic drilling, shot hole preparation and explosives handling.
Seismic sonic drilling
Mobile drilling operations planned around ground conditions, site access and the seismic programme.
Shot hole preparation
Coordinated preparation, location control and traceable field records for production crews.
Explosives operations
Transport, handling and source operations subject to the applicable licences, project procedures and local requirements.
Recording and acquisition can be coordinated with dedicated partner companies to suit the scope of each seismic project.
GEOPHYSICAL APPLICATIONS / 02
Characterise the subsurface.
Constrain the ground model.
Choose a method around the geological question. Rossingh Geophysics supports renewable energy development and mineral exploration with investigations that complement geological and geotechnical evidence.
Electrical investigations
Electrical resistivity tomography, Wenner resistivity and induced polarisation to assess subsurface contrasts and support exploration targeting.
Solar sites · Earthing studies · Mineral targetsPassive seismic & HVSR
Ambient vibration measurements to investigate site resonance and support estimates of sediment thickness where the geological model permits.
Site response · Bedrock assessmentThermal & magnetic surveys
Thermal conductivity measurements for cable design inputs and magnetic surveying to investigate geological contrasts and potential exploration targets.
Energy infrastructure · Mineral explorationA clear interpretation, with clear limits. Method selection, investigation depth and deliverables are agreed for each site. Geophysical results support geotechnical design and require appropriate ground verification.
TOPOGRAPHY & LAND SURVEY / 03
Reliable spatial control.
Engineering-ready survey data.
From a detailed site plan to a connected GIS database, Rossingh Geophysics captures and structures the spatial information your engineering team needs.
Topographic & GNSS surveys
Site plans, control networks, precision levelling, contours, digital terrain models, longitudinal and cross sections, surface areas and volume calculations. Coordinate systems and accuracy requirements agreed at project outset.
Construction & engineering survey
Setting out, as-built measurements, dimensional checks, height measurements, verticality control and displacement monitoring to support construction and engineering works.
GIS & digital mapping
Field data collection, geospatial databases, web mapping, data integration, database updates, map digitisation, raster georeferencing and vectorisation of existing plans.
Bathymetry & aerial mapping
Bathymetric measurements and aerial photography for site understanding, terrain and waterbed modelling, planning and engineering documentation. Survey scope and acquisition methods tailored to the site.
Utilities & spatial asset records
Utility mapping and integration of detection results into engineering plans and GIS. Buried-object investigations support planning; no detection method guarantees clearance of all underground hazards.
FROM FIELD MEASUREMENT TO ENGINEERING INPUT
Data you can evaluate.
Outputs you can use.
The value of an investigation lies in how it supports your next decision. We agree the coverage, reference system, data formats and reporting requirements at the start of the project.
DisciplineTypical deliverablesProject use
Sonic DrillingShot hole coordinates, drilling records and source-operation documentation within the agreed scope.Seismic programme coordination and field traceability.
Geophysical ApplicationsAcquisition layouts, processed sections or maps, interpreted findings and documented method limitations.Ground model development, design inputs and prioritisation of direct investigations.
Topography & Land SurveyControl records, CAD plans, terrain models, sections, volume calculations and structured GIS datasets.Site planning, setting out, construction verification and spatial asset management.
Scope before mobilisation
Clear objectives, access requirements and deliverables reduce ambiguity before teams reach the site.
Checks during acquisition
Spatial control and field checks help identify incomplete coverage or measurements requiring review.
Transparent interpretation
Assumptions, uncertainty and verification needs remain visible so engineers can judge how to use the results.
THE ROSSINGH GEOPHYSICS APPROACH
Defined scope.
Controlled fieldwork.
Traceable deliverables.
Rossingh Geophysics defines the acceptance criteria before acquisition, checks field data against the agreed scope and documents the basis of the final deliverables.
Define the question
Review objectives, existing information, site constraints and the decisions your data must support.
Plan the investigation
Agree methods, coverage, control, access, risk measures and reporting requirements.
Execute & verify
Coordinate field teams, check measurements and maintain traceable acquisition records.
Deliver usable insight
Provide agreed plans, models, datasets and reports with documented assumptions and limitations.
Safety-conscious planningTraceable field dataProject-specific quality checksEuropean mobilisation
