Land Science provides a range of thermal resistivity and electrical conductivity testing of soil and rock cores in the field and laboratory. Example applications include cabling and pipeline projects such as onshore renewables, EV charging stations and transmission projects. Electrical conductivity testing can also be used for a variety of other applications including geotechnical, archaeological, and environmental.
A long thin needle is inserted into a test sample and a constant electrical current delivered; the resulting rise in temperature and the change in conductivity of the sample is recorded over a defined range. Tests can be conducted in-situ on soil and backfill materials in field conditions, and samples can be collected for laboratory analysis at various moisture contents.
We operate a Syscal Junior, which is an all-purpose resistivity and induced polarisation sounding and profiling system for environmental applications and is perfect for Wenner sounding arrays. The equipment is suitable for most near surface geophysical applications, such as soil and bedrock mapping, water and pollution monitoring, underground structures.
The safety of our employees, sub-contractors and other personal, members of the public, and the wider environment is paramount to us. All our staff receive comprehensive safety training, with each project being managed by a designated Site Safety Supervisor. Our staff are CSCS card holders, and our drillers also hold NVQ qualifications. The company has detailed Safety, Health and Environment procedures, and is CHAS accredited.
