GROUND & AIRBORNE GEOPHYSICS - 3D IP & resistivity, MT/AMT/CSAMT, airborne AFMAG, full-tensor magnetic gradiometry
Full company description
Dias delivers solutions to geoscience challenges through the application of innovative proprietary technologies such as the DIAS32 ground resistivity and induced polarization system, the QMAGT full-tensor magnetic gradiometry (FTMG) system, and the QAMT airborne magnetotellurics system. DIAS32 is the most advanced and effective DCIP system available today. It is a fully-distributed, mesh-networked ground survey system that excels by safely delivering greater depth sensitivity and high resolution. The QMAGT and QAMT airborne systems are based on leading liquid helium SQUID sensor technology from Supracon AG of Jena, Germany. These sensors offer unrivalled sensitivity in the measurement of the full tensor magnetic gradient (FTMG) and 3 component magnetic (QAMT) measurements. The QMAGT system moves the magnetic method to a new level of imaging and interpretation. The QAMT system provides greater depth and clarity in resistivity imaging using natural sources. At Dias, health, safety and environment are front of mind. We have developed several new technologies to enhance the safety of our field operations. These include a lightning shunt, current lockout, and a transmitter. We look forward to carrying out surveys using our leading technologies towards the success of your programs.
