Aylon, LLC
GEL Geophysics, LLC was contracted by a national residential housing developer to provide consulting services and technical oversight at a construction site located on the former Myrtle Beach Air Force Base. Our client was developing a residential housing complex on a portion of the property that included a former explosive ordinance detonation (EOD) /skeet range, which had been previously cleared of munitions by the Air Force. During initial construction activities, several buried bombs were unearthed at the site. Based on these findings, the Air Force initiated construction support and munitions and explosives of concern (MEC) activities at the site. GEL Geophysics, LLC provided field oversight of the Air Force's unexploded ordnance contractors who were mapping and removing ordnance related items, and provided technical guidance to our client and our client's attorneys. Our geophysicists reviewed all project work plans, reports and other technical documents provided by the Air Force and their contractors, and provided comments and guidance to ensure the project was executed in accordance with applicable United States Corps of Engineers regulations.
Kestrel Horizons
GEL Geophysics performed a UXO detection and mapping project that involved the use of various geophysical equipment, including Geometrics G-858G cesium gradiometers, to detect UXO. Project included the use of RTK GPS equipment and modeling/mapping software to generate digital geophysical maps and dig sheets that are used by ordnance removal contractors to locate, remove, and properly dispose UXO materials from the site.
Tetratech Nus
GEL Geophysics, LLC performed a geophysical investigation at the Naval Weapons Station (NWS) in Charleston, South Carolina. The purpose of the investigation is to investigate two sites at the NWS for potential Munitions and Explosives of Concern. The project involved Digital Geophysical Mapping using G-858 in vertical gradiometer mode and EM61-MK2 with GPS/RTK positioning support. All data were analyzed, processed and interpreted using Geosoft Oasis Montaj UXDetect software, and dig sheets were developed for intrusive investigations.
Terracon
GEL Geophysics, LLC performed an EM61-MK2 investigation of proposed boring locations designed to screen the locations for potential unexploded ordnance. Subsurface metal close to the proposed boring locations were flagged and avoided. All borings activities were completed without encountering any subsurface metal.
