GMS Geophysical Testing

- Acoustic emissions testing to "listen" for materials flaws.
- Pulse velocity equipment and impact echo for detecting delaminations and voids in concrete,   masonry and timber.
- Seismographs for monitoring blasting and dynamic loading conditions.
- Impact echo and spectral analysis for integrity testing of piles and drilled shafts.
- Sonic logging for assessment of material quality in concrete caissons, diaphragm walls, mass   concrete foundations, dams and cut-off walls.
- Parallel seismic testing for evaluation of foundation type and depth beneath existing structures.
- Mechanical impedance testing for location of voids and assessment of support condition beneath   concrete floors, pavement slabs, airport runways and tunnel linings.
- Transient dynamic response for integrity and fixation evaluation in structures.
- Vibration analyzers and accelerometers to quantify the magnitude and frequency of the   background vibration levels within a facility.
- Impulse radar (GPR) to define rebar locations and subsurface anomalies such as foundations,   buried tanks and voids.

GMS provides affordable geophysical data acquisition for projects in the Southeastern United States, based from our Muscle Shoals, Alabama office, supported by the resources and expertise of STS Consultants, LTD, Chicago, Illinois.
