MAGCONE
The MAGCONE system uses truck-mounted hydraulics to drive a magnetometer into the ground.The magnetometer senses variations in the subsurface materials and relays these to a geophysicist in real time. This high-resolution method can identify metal targets to depths exceeding 20 m in soft sediments. MAGCONE uses a specially toughened alloy probe that allows faster rates of penetration than other systems. The significant time savings achieved using this technology are passed onto site developers. Advanced processing provides the option of producing a detailed 3D model of site hazards. Zetica's continuing commitment to research and development ensures that it leads the field in survey and clearance technology.
A FOUR-STEP PROCESS
 |
1. Risk assessment and method statement from a qualified explosive ordnance clearance (EOC) operative. |
 |
2. Surface geophysical survey to allow shallow groundwork. This can detect shallow unexploded ordnance and map obstructions. |
 |
3. MAGCONE detects UXBs and obstructions on piling layout to the no-risk depth. |
 |
4. Any UXB detected can be dealt with by our EOC engineers and a Clearance Certificate then issued for the site. |
