ARM's geophysicists have performed more than 500 surveys at sites located across the country. These sites have been situated in varying terrains having many different types of subsurface conditions. Our geophysicists apply their geological and geotechnical backgrounds and experience to provide cost effective surveys for five primary areas of geophysical investigation.
ARM's six primary survey areas are:
ARM provides both Land Seismic and Borehole Logging Services for the Oil and Gas Markets in Pennsylvania and surrounding states. ARM provides state of the art technologies for providing highly cost effective surface and subsurface evaluation of potential Oil and Gas zones. For more information, visit: |

During engineering and land development projects, ARM's geophysicists provide enhanced data acquisition capabilities. We use non-destructive geophysical techniques such as ground penetrating radar (GPR), microgravity, resistivity (electromagnetic imaging), and seismic surveys to obtain subsurface information more quickly and often more cost effectively than using conventional methods of data acquisition. Our areas of expertise include: |
 |
|
|
|
|
|
- Sinkhole investigations
- Top of rock surveys
- Bedrock rippability determinations
- Concrete inspections (Structure Scans)
We assist with the development of water resources by conducting non-intrusive and relatively low-cost surveys that help hydrogeologists delineate potential sources of water as well as particular types of water bearing materials such as sand and gravel. ARM's geophysicists have experience providing:
|
|
 |
- Well Siting
- Support for fracture trace analyses
- Top of bedrock delineation
- Downhole geophysics for well construction and rehabilitation
Prior to conducting intrusive subsurface investigations (drilling borings or digging backhoe trenches) to identify contaminants or buried storage containers, ARM's geophysicists conduct non-intrusive surveys to provide an indication of subsurface conditions. Types of projects where geophysical surveys can aid in saving valuable time and reduce costs include:
- Initial delineation of contaminate plumes
- Determination of migration pathways
- Location of buried drums/USTs
- Identification of the limits of subsurface fill or waste
Specific skills are required to identify ordnances in the subsurface. ARM's geophysicists have developed these skills and have considerable experience conducting geophysical surveys at ordnance sites across the United States. These capabilities include:
|
|
 |
- Successful performance of geophysical prove outs
- Performance of meandering path surveys
- Performance of re-acquisition survey
ARM has two key teaming partners with whom we conduct UXO/OE projects, Explosive Ordnance Technologies Incorporated (EOTI) and EOD Technologies, Inc (EODT). Please visit our partners' web sites at: www.eoti.net and www.eodt.com.
ARM geophysicists have located underground utilities in multitudes of different settings for many purposes. We have located single, relatively short conveyance pipes as well as complex networks of water, sewer, condensate, electrical, and telephone lines at a large industrial facility. Our services have included:
- Site-wide utility mapping
- Individual utility tracing
- Clearing for individual boring locations
