Mundell conducted a non-invasive, high-resolution, ground penetrating radar (GPR) survey of a concrete spillway to map the location of potential voids below the concrete after a significant outflow of water was detected from beneath the base of the spillway. The GPR investigation revealed the source of the outflow from beneath the spillway, and verified that the sub-base materials were sound. …..Read More »

As part of the preliminary subsurface evaluation for the Ball State University Geothermal project, Mundell conducted surface two-dimensional resistivity testing and downhole geophysical logging to map the variation in geologic and hydrogeologic conditions beneath the site. This data proved extremely useful in the bidding process for the well installations, and for establishing and drilling specifications for the geothermal wells. …..Read More »

During a preliminary investigation prior to the construction of an industrial facility, Mundell personnel completed a multi-faceted electromagnetic (EM) geophysical survey to locate and characterize concealed metallic objects such as underground storage tanks, process piping and utilities, as well as to map variations in the possible fill materials present from any former operations. Based on anomalies discovered, Mundell provided cost estimates for waste materials handling to the client for project planning purposes, and final estimated quantities were within 5 % of those determined from the geophysical survey……Read More »

Mundell personnel completed a multi-faceted geophysical survey of a 100-year old brownfield site, which had been used in the past as a warehouse, bar, restaurant, bakery, and dentist office, in order to identify suspected impacted and hazardous materials that may have been buried on the site. Using the quantities of materials estimated from the geophysical survey and the types of materials found at the site within the test pits, a cost estimate for developing the property ranged from about $430,000 to $600,000. This included the costs of excavation, transportation and landfill disposal of materials……Read More »
