Case HistoriesPosted on
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 »

Mundell conducted a groundwater resources survey for a town which was experiencing water shortages, utilizing EM34 deep conductivity mapping. The conductivity survey was used locate favorable areas to drill. Each new production well location encountered more than 20 ft. of additional sand and gravel that had not been encountered before, and produced in excess of 800 gpm……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 »

To ensure that as much warm air as possible is delivered through your central system, check the ductwork and wrap any leaks with duct mastic. Distribution losses (what’s lost while air is transported from your furnace through ductwork to the vents) often amounts to 30%. So, sealing ductwork could increase efficiency and the warm air you receive considerably … keeping you warmer and making your furnace work less.
