The Aestus GeoTrax Survey^TM is a tool that may be employed similar to the medical industry’s use of the MRI or CAT Scan.  Aestus’ survey techniques provide our clients with a better tool to solve complex problems involving the subsurface of the earth. The GeoTrax Survey^TM delivers an image of the subsurface that is continuous and explicit in nature.

This continuous imaging process provides a better understanding of the subsurface relative to the traditional approach of a number of discrete data points (i.e., monitoring wells – see Figure 1 below). Better knowledge of the subsurface (see Figure 2 below) allows our clients to make better business decisions regarding their sites.

Data from a typical borehole investigation:

• Soil classifications from drill cuttings or cores
• Subjective interpretations between data points/borings
• Groundwater levels and characteristics
• Presence/absence and thickness of LNAPL/DNAPL at the well location

Our Aestus GeoTrax Survey^TM

• Provides a much more complete subsurface image. Existing subsurface information can be added to our images to further improve site subsurface knowledge.
• Can confirm the presence or absence of subsurface issues such as aquitard layers, tanks, fugitive oil, debris, and/or other site features or impediments.
• Our GeoTrax Survey™ images can be used to guide future investigations or assess remediation efforts already underway.
• Better knowledge of the subsurface allows our clients to make better business decisions regarding their sites.
