The Bartington Grad 601-2 Dual fluxgate magnetic gradiometer system is a vertical component fluxgate gradiometer with data logger and either one or two cylindrical sensor assemblies for use in geophysics and archaeology. Each sensor assembly contains two fluxgate magnetometers with a one meter vertical separation together with electronics and non-volatile memory for calibration data. This gradiometers has a linear range of 100nT with a resolution of 0.1nT and a range of 1000nT with a resolution of 1nT. A compressed response is provided to 30,000nT.

The GSSI SIR-3000 Ground-penetrating radar system with 400 MHz antenna is a portable, digital Subsurface Interface Radar (SIR) System designed for a broad range of environmental, geotechnical, geological and engineering, and archaeological applications. This system permits very accurate data collection for later processing with 3-D modeling software.

The AGI SuperSting R1/IP Earth Resistivity and IP Meter (ER/IP) can be used for automatic resistivity and IP imaging in 2D and 3D resistivity monitoring, Used for resistivity, IP imaging in applications include groundwater exploration, geotechnical investigations, horizontal drilling, mapping of pollution plumes, cavity detection, archeological and environmental work etc.

The Geoscan RM15 resistivity system with MPX15 multiplexer forms the heart of a versatile, expandable measuring system for rapid area or vertical profile measurements. Readings are stored in a non-volatile memory which may be partitioned into grid sizes of 10m, 20m or 30m, with reading interval being either 1m or 0.5m. The data logger keeps track of survey position for both zig-zag and parallel traverses and displays current grid, line number and line position.

The EM conductivity/magnetic susceptibility meter provides rapid surveys with excellent lateral resolution. Digital meters are located on the top and the side of the EM38 for the horizontal and vertical dipole measurements. Continuous or station measurements can also be taken from a standing position. In this mode of operation 3000 data points can easily be obtained in one hour. The EM38 has proven very useful in many geotechnical applications such as in archeology where use can also be made of the inphase component giving a measurement of the soil magnetic susceptibility.

A field rugged laptop is available for each instrument.
