Airborne MMEMDS
Geophysics instrumentation can be flown using airplanes or helicopters as shown here with this "Tow Body" developed, manufactured and used during data acquisition services for our customers.
Airborne TDEMS

Airborne MMEMDS
Active and passive geophysics detection technologies are used depending on the application and operational considerations. We ALWAYS provide our customers the most cost effective data acquisition approaches with mounted airborne techniques or dismounted ground-based techniques.

Rapid Reporting
Our field teams arrive on your site soon after receipt of notice to proceed and can rapidly acquire data, post process and provide valuable reports to you - often within one week for sites up to 100 acres and within one month for project sized sites from 5 - 30 square miles with high resolution.
Ground MMEMDS

Rapid Reporting
Ground data acquisition service is most economical for high resolution surveys for modest size sites from individual home lots up to about 100 acres depending on the application.

Just like airborne data acquisition operations, passive and active geophysics detection technologies can be done; but quickly favor helicopter operations when active TDEM surveys are contemplated for sites larger than about 20 acres, again depending on the specific application.
Applications
Ground MMEMDS
Ground TDEMS
Feel free to call us at (623) 265-8911 to discuss your underground or underwater detection and mapping needs. Applications include earth fissures, landfills and silage pits, UST, UXO, unmarked gravesites, forensics, wrecks, base and precious metals, well heads, abandoned mines, archeologic and other cultural features. NO job is too small or too large: one acre to hundreds of square mile
A Legacy since 1947

World's 1st UXO Drone Survey
World's 1st UXO Drone Survey
As a pioneer woman in STEM, Bonnie Thorpe experienced the "Glass Ceiling" first hand working while a student in the Geology Department at the University of Utah. These pictures are from a 1947 Salt Lake Tribune article where she organized DC-3 flights for the Geology Department's Cloud College and did survey work of Glen Canyon prior to dam construction forming Lake Powel.

UXO: Serious Ground Truth

UXO: Serious Ground Truth
UXO comes in all shapes and sizes. Ground truth really gets serious for the backhoe operator excavating a dud UXO when "where" and "how deep do I dig" matters most or else!

UXO: Serious Ground Truth
Thorpe Geophyscs Services begin BEFORE even excavation during the Project Development Phase all the way through Monitoring Mining Production Operations. Bonnie is shown far right - no "Glass Ceilings" here!
