Magnetometer Surveys

AFFILIATED RESEARCHERS utilizes a Geometrics G882 marine magnetometer and the most advanced hydrographic and mapping software produced by the industry’s leaders to conduct magnetometer surveys.

Magnetometer survey tracks are developed using hydrographic-geophysical software, at sufficient intervals to ensure coverage of the project area and detection of utility crossings and debris. The magnetometer surveys are conducted with RTK-GPS survey equipment in a client-specified coordinate system.

Our onsite Project Geophysicist verifies project coverage and the final compiling of the magnetometer data to include an accurate geospatial drawing depicting identified magnetic biases found at the project.

Deliverables include geo-referenced backgrounds such as existing orthographic aerial photographs, engineering plans, land surveys, and other databases to show information relevant to the project.
