Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) & Downhole Seismic
Project Name:
Limited Subsidence (Sinkhole) Treatment Study Next to Buwaib –Al Ramahia road, Riyadh Region
Client:
Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs, Riyadh)
Location:
Buwaib –Al Ramahia road, Riyadh Region
Scope of Work:
- • The main objective of this project to study treatment of collapses beside Buwaib –Al Ramahia road and recommend proper solution to avoid any future danger. Below are some of the major target to achieve:
- • Initial investigation to determine key risk factors of the sinkholes and their possible impact on nearby private as well public facilities, which include highway, and transmission line along with mitigation measures.
- • A proper investigation and required testing to be carried out to determine the root cause of sinkholes and recommendation for possible solution.
- • To perform required field measurements and testing to identify the dimensions of the Mustazillah Subsidence.
- • To mark the cave coordinates on geological and geographical maps to shows sites of the caves and entries enumerated.
- • Develop engineering solutions and alternatives to handle the risks and hazards of subsidence, landslides and cavitation and how to minimize them.
Time Domain Electromagnetic (TDEM) & Ground Magnetic
Project Name:
Hydrogeological / Geophysical study for Sharaan Resorts
Client:
The Royal Commission – Al Ula Governorate, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Location:
Heet, Riyadh, KSA
Scope of Work:
- • Hydro census: Hydro census consisted of mainly water point survey
- • Geophysical Survey: Geophysical Survey to demarcate the subsurface geological features in terms of groundwater exploration. There are two methods i.e. magnetic and electromagnetic method shall be used to find groundwater bearing zone for future abstraction or any other alternate methodology if required after site reconnaissance survey.
- • Drilling Supervision & Installation of Boreholes: Based on the outcome of hydrogeological assessment and in accordance with geophysical results, drilling of proposed wells performed
- • Completion of Pumping Test, Supervision and Data Analysis
- • Ground Water Sampling and Laboratory Analysis
Multi-Channel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW)

Client:
Saudi Arabia Railway (SAR)
Location:
Heet, Riyadh, KSA
Scope of Work:
- • The main objective of this study is to confirm the presence of cavities or weak zones in the project area.
- • To the risk mitigations, the area under the railway track and in surrounding requires detail testing and studies to define root causes and permanent engineering solutions by geophysical and geotechnical study and mitigation with short term & long-term monitoring.
Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) Distributed Temperature Sensing System (DSTS)
Project Name:
Rail Line Monitoring System in Heet, Heet Area, Riyadh, KSA
Client:
Saudi Arabia Railway (SAR)
Location:
Heet, Riyadh, KSA
Scope of Work:
- • A Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) wire-break emergency alert system. This system will consist of a shallowly buried coaxial cable, coupled with the existing grade, that will deform or break in the event of a sinkhole and provide a fast alert if a surface collapse occurs.
- • Short-term nodal passive seismic subgrade monitoring.
- • Implement passive seismic monitoring in the more susceptible zones beneath the rail line for the purpose of deploying a system quickly and being able to accelerate reopening of the rail line.
- • Long-term passive seismic subgrade monitoring using fiber optic distributed acoustic sensing (DAS).
