Vertical Electrical Sounding

The most common application of Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) surveys now is for electrical grounding. They are commonly performed at residential or commercial buildings when installing the grounding system and are performed by an electrician.

The applications for which we have had requests are for grounding at power plants, solar power sites, or wind turbine sites. These typically require deeper surveys.
