Seismic Surveys
Used when project specifications require borehole-based velocity control, or when surface methods need a borehole reference.
Definition
Downhole shear-wave testing measures velocity response with depth inside a borehole to provide direct seismic stiffness information.

Method Limitations
Geophysical results are interpreted models based on measured physical property contrasts. Results should be correlated with boreholes, test pits, drilling, geological mapping, laboratory data, or other direct investigation methods where required.

FAQs
Yes. The method uses a borehole, so access and borehole condition are part of the planning process.
It is preferred when a project needs borehole-based velocity control or a specialized geotechnical specification.
It provides a borehole reference that can help ground the interpretation of surface-wave or refraction-based velocity models.
