Electrical and Resistivity Surveys
Used in grounding and energy infrastructure workflows where electrical performance depends on the near-surface soil profile.
Definition
Soil resistivity testing measures how the ground conducts electricity so engineers can design grounding and earthing systems more reliably.

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
It helps electrical engineers estimate how the ground will perform for earthing and related design decisions.
Not always. Large or variable sites often need multiple locations so the design team can see how resistivity changes across the footprint.
A site plan, intended grounding layout, and access details help the test locations be planned around the real design requirement.
