- Geophysical methods are quick to apply, saving in terms of time and money.
- Light and portable equipment allows access to remotest of sites.
- Provides information on critical geological features like faults/fractures/weak zones/shear zone, not visible from surface information.
- Large areas mapped quickly and inexpensively.
- Geophysical methods can quickly produce subsurface geological model avoiding delays during execution due to meeting the unexpected.
- Shear wave profiles can be quickly obtained for ascertaining liquefaction potential and earthquake response.
- Buried utilities, pipes and cables, can be detected before drilling/ excavation, avoiding damage to utilities and costly accidents.
- Concrete structures can be quickly scanned to ascertain integrity and detect defects like voids, honeycombing etc.
