Surface equipment

Source

Sledge Hammer | Surface Source

The sledge hammer is used to generate seismic waves (P- or S-waves) at the surface. A piezotrigger element is attached to the hammer. The output piezo signal is transformed to a TTL pulse by a small box to provide an exact time break to the seismograph.

It is a suitable source for shallow downhole surveys up to a depth of 100 m.

Receiver

LS-24 | Landstreamer

The Landstreamer LS-24 is used to record P-, S- or surface waves. It consists of a number of horizontally or vertically oriented sensors mounted on sledges which are attached to a robust belt. The belt can be hooked to a vehicle and moved along the profile. A landstreamer is used to collect a large volume of seismic data in a short time. The landstreamer is suitable for MASW or reflection seismic applications especially on paved ground.
