Geophysical services

The field experience of the team behind CERES®: end-to-end solutions from subsurface investigation to measurement hardware and software development.

ERT_01

Electrical resistivity tomography

2D and 3D ERT measurement and inversion. Subsurface lithology mapping, leak detection, pre-excavation ground investigation.

VES_02

Vertical electrical sounding

Groundwater and deep geoelectrical surveys.

GPR_03

Ground-penetrating radar (GPR)

High-resolution subsurface imaging. Utility detection, archaeological survey, concrete inspection.

ARK_04

Archaeological geophysics

Non-destructive geophysical surveys for buried structures and voids at archaeological sites.

INS_05

Custom Solutions

Measurement instruments designed around your problem: from idea to reality.

SFT_06

Software development

Geophysical data processing, visualisation and field software, including 1D/2D/3D evaluation with the ELRIS inversion software.

R&D_07

R&D and project consulting

TÜBİTAK 1501/1507 proposal writing, university–industry collaboration and technical feasibility studies.

LARES R&D · electronics production

Instrumentation

We design and build in our own workshop

From the analog front-end, ADC integration and embedded system design to PCB production, the whole hardware development process is carried out in-house at LARES and MPPT. The same team also develops the web interface and data-processing software.

  • Electronics design: custom measurement circuits, PCB design and prototyping.
  • Embedded software: measurement and communication firmware on the microcontroller.
  • Interface and data processing: the web-based user interface, inversion and visualisation software.

Examples from the field

Depth slices, resistivity maps and field imagery from GPR and ERT data we have collected at ancient settlement sites.

GPR · depth slices
GPR · Depth slices

A layer-by-layer look beneath the surface

Depth slices generated from GPR data make buried structures visible metre by metre, each slice marking likely wall and infill traces at that depth.

GPR · Anomaly map

Wall traces on an aerial photo

High-amplitude GPR reflections were overlaid on an aerial photo; this mapping helps position probable wall lines on the ground before excavation.

ERT · Resistivity map

From measurement to site plan

Resistivity data was visualised against the site's architectural plan; high-resistivity zones may point to stone foundations and floor remains.

Apameia · 3D model
Apameia · 3D model

Data, seen from every angle

A 3D model built from data collected at the ancient city of Apameia lets us examine the outline of a likely buried feature from every angle.

How we work

Project flow

Discovery

We clarify the goal, the site and your expectations together.

Planning

We choose the method, array and survey grid, and submit our proposal.

Field

We run the measurements with our own instruments and cables, under quality control.

Report

We process the data and deliver sections and interpretation.

We work with the rigour of science and academia, not commercial priorities.
