ARM's six primary survey areas are:

Geotechnical Surveys 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)

Water Resource Surveys 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

Environmental Surveys
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

UXO/OE Mapping 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

Utility Location 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

Borehole Geophysics Borehole geophysical logs provide continuous and objective records that present valuable information about the physical properties of the soil and rock through which borings are drilled. Borehole logs also provide information about the fluids in those soils and rocks and about the construction of wells completed in those materials. ARM uses fully digital, state-of-the-art well logging and imaging systems that include the following tools for environmental, geotechnical, mining, and coalbed methane applications: Optical Televiewer (OPTV) Acoustic Televiewer (BHTV) Natural Gamma Spontaneous Potential Three-Arm Caliper Resistivity/Conductivity Fluid Conductivity Fluid Temperature Gamma-Gamma Density Neutron Single Point Resistance Heat Pulse Flowmeter Borehole Video
