EM31 CMD Electromagnetic Conductivity
EM31 CMD Electromagnetic Conductivity
Non-invasive underground utility mapping serves as GEOTEC’s core business, where GEOTEC have over 25 years of experience.
These tools map geological variations, groundwater contaminants or other sub-surface features associated with ground conductivity; using an electro-magnetic inductive technique that makes the measurements without electrodes or ground contact.
Typical features which can be located are:
- Mine shafts, coal shafts and buried wells
- Old foundations/ building lines, footings and pile caps
- Basements & cellars
- Tunnels, cavities, sink holes and underground voids,
- Dissolution features
- Buried tanks & other structures
- Bedrock and ground water

The EM31 has a depth penetration of 6m below the ground surface, whilst the CMD Explorer can achieve 3x different depth penetration thresholds; up to 2.3m, up to 4.2m and up to 6.7m respectively (subject to site conditions).
The equipment is designed to precisely detect small changes in the sub-surface conductivity and has proven a useful tool for the detection of buried metallic structure and waste, as well as mineshafts or wells.
Disadvantages are that the data collected is adversely affected by the presence of metallic objects, whilst it is not possible to apply a depth to any anomalous areas highlighted.
Both tools are particularly good at achieving data collection across larger areas over a shorter time frame than other methods.
Below are some example survey results illustrating what the equipment can achieve.

This tool also allows us to confirm the presence of metallic and conductive services that have already been detected through radio frequency detection / electro-magnetic locating (RFD / EML).
