TRUE NORTH GEOPHYSICS
BOREHOLE GEOPHYSICAL SERVICES

TELEVIEWER SURVEYS
We offer high quality optical and acoustic televiewer logging of boreholes, which include the following:
​
-
Borehole structure logging
-
Azimuth and dip of mapped structures relative to the borehole and to true north (oriented core)
-
Aperture of open features such as faults and fractures
-
Primary stress orientation of borehole by mapping dog earing features present along the borehole
-
Televiewer data can compliment visual logging of core by mine engineers and provide a more comprehensive understanding of the structure
-
Inspection of steel and PVC boreholes to identify anomalies/deterioration present along the borehole casing

CALIPER SURVEYS
We offer acoustic and mechanical caliper services to provide the following:
​​
-
Borehole diameter​
-
Open fracture locations and widths for structure and potential water inflow mapping
-
Analysis of borehole deformation for stress analysis of the borehole

NATURAL AND SPECTRAL GAMMA
We offer natural and spectral gamma logging to provide the following:
​​
-
Stratigraphic logging of rock and correlation of stratigraphy across a site or regionally for aggregate resource exploration and development
-
Logging within sediment to map presence of sand, gravels, and clay deposits
-
Changes in mineralogy of bedrock for geotechnical or exploration reasons

APPARENT CONDUCTIVITY
AND ELECTRICAL RESISTIVITY
We offer conductivity and resistivity logging for the following:
​​
-
Stratigraphic logging of rock and correlation of stratigraphy across a site or regionally for aggregate resource exploration and development
-
Logging within sediment to map presence of sand, gravels, and clay deposits
-
Changes in mineralogy of bedrock for geotechnical or exploration reasons
-
Mapping of groundwater plumes vertically to aid in delineation and determine depths to set well screens

FULL WAVEFORM SONIC LOGGING
We offer full waveform sonic logging for the following:

-
Engineering properties of the rock (Poisson's ratio, Shear Modulus, Elastic Modulus, Young's Modulus)
-
Bond logging of steel casing to ensure they are properly grouted for municipal groundwater wells

HYDROGEOLOGICAL LOGGING
We offer hydrogeolical logging, including fluid temperature/resistivity, flow meter logging, and water property logging for the following:
​​​
-
Mapping the hydrogeological flow regime present in the borehole
-
Groundwater protection and inspection of municipal groundwater wells
-
Estimating amount of flow from fractures along the borehole
-
Identify potential hydrogeological significant zones that can affect construction or mine development

VIDEO LOGGING OF BOREHOLES
We offer video logging of boreholes for quick inspections of boreholes to:
​​​
-
Identify large fractures within a borehole
-
