Recently, we were involved in a construction project where it became necessary to determine the exact location of a water pipeline running through the work area. Initially, the Contractor attempted to locate the pipeline by mechanical excavation based on data available in the utility registry. Unfortunately, inaccuracies in the records led to more than 60 meters of unnecessary trial trenches.
Our geophysics team recently conducted ERT (Electrical Resistivity Tomography) measurements over an approximately 100-hectare area using our new Syscal Terra instrument (manufactured by IRIS Instruments), reaching depths of up to 180 meters. The purpose of the geophysical investigation was to map the aquifer layers of the area to ensure a reliable water supply.
In 2024, as part of a multi-site research initiative, we conducted ground-penetrating radar (GPR) geophysical surveys in the outskirts of Kiskunlacháza. The aim of these surveys was to locate the sites of former village churches within the administrative boundaries of the settlement, using non-invasive methods to identify the remains of historical church buildings.
