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
No. It is a screening and interpretation service, so confirmation should be checked against records and direct verification where required.
Yes. It is commonly used before trenching, coring, and excavation to reduce the chance of striking buried services.
Site drawings, known service records, surface access details, and the proposed excavation or coring area help the survey be planned more effectively.
