Magnetic Survey for Subsurface Exploration

At Smart Projects, we specialize in magnetic survey services designed to detect and map subsurface anomalies through precise geophysical testing. Using advanced magnetometer technology, we locate buried steel objects, assess geological structures, and uncover environmental hazards. Our services play a critical role in diverse industries, including construction, archaeology, mining, and environmental assessments. With a commitment to accuracy and innovation, Smart Projects provides in-depth magnetic property analysis to support informed decision-making for every project in the UAE.

Techniques We Use for Subsurface Magnetic Mapping in the UAE

1. Total Field Magnetometry

We use Total Field Magnetometry with high-sensitivity magnetometers to detect subsurface magnetic fluctuations caused by buried objects or mineral deposits. This method is ideal for geological exploration and mineral detection.

3. Aeromagnetic Surveys

We conduct aeromagnetic surveys using aircraft equipped with magnetometers to cover large areas efficiently. This approach is ideal for regional geological mapping, resource exploration, and identifying large-scale geological structures.

5. Magnetic Susceptibility Measurements

Our magnetic susceptibility measurements help determine the magnetization potential of materials, aiding in mineral exploration and rock-type differentiation.

7. Borehole Magnetometry

Our borehole magnetometry services involve placing magnetometers in boreholes to gather magnetic data at different depths. This method enhances the accuracy of geological exploration and environmental assessments.

2. Gradiometer Surveys

Our gradiometer surveys measure magnetic gradients to identify shallow subsurface anomalies. This technique is highly effective for archaeological studies, environmental research, and detecting unexploded ordnance.

4. Ground Magnetic Surveys

We perform ground magnetic surveys to map local magnetic variations in detail. These surveys are perfect for identifying underground utilities, geological boundaries, and small mineral deposits.

6. Magnetic Tensor Surveys

We use magnetic tensor surveys to generate 3D magnetic field models, providing in-depth insights into subsurface geometries and mineral distributions.

8. Magnetotellurics (MT)

We use Magnetotellurics (MT) to study subsurface resistivity by measuring the Earth’s electromagnetic variations. This technique is effective for identifying tectonic faults, geothermal resources, and hydrocarbon deposits.
