As of the start of 2022 Georadis has released the new upgraded RT30-MKII Isotope Identification meter.

Manufactured by Georadis, the RT30 MKII has all of the functions of the RT30 although has a larger sun readable display ensuring the readings can be read easily whilst in the field, its new design ensures all of the electronics are enclosed in a compact, easily portable handheld device. This Isotope identification instrument is designed for field use allowing the user to collect a number of measurements from samples and can be used in a number of applications which include waste/ scrap metal recycling, research labs and production facilities. Its scintillation detection probe uses a photomultiplier tube with up to date silicon photomultipliers technology and a larger detector. 

As with the previous model the RT30 MKII integrates a radiation survey, dose meter and radionuclide identification in one compact device and has automatic stabilization on natural background radiation throughout its operation.  The meter has an  ARM  processor and a programmable array (FPGA), this combination allows the meter to handle other sensors at the same time as the gamma ray section (Geiger-Muller counter and Neutron detector - standard offer). It is capable of holding multiple detectors with a maximum detector size of 2” x 2” or 5” with silicon PMT (SIPM or MPPC).

The RT30 MKII can support existing as well as new communication standards with wide compatibility, it is Bluetooth enabled and has its own built in GPS unit for time synchronization,  allowing both recorded measurements and GPS measurements to be stored. With an increased sensitivity and a robust design this is an ideal instrument for field geology/ mapping and radiological studies and can also be used in harsh environments. 

We look forward to providing you with some further information on the GT30 and GT32 MKII which are coming out later this year mid-summer. These new devices will be suited to more geological and core sampling applications.

Introducing the Loupe TEM system

29 July 2021

Geomatrix are really exited to be receiving a Loupe mobile TEM system from Australia next week. This innovative system allows for TEM soundings whilst walking along, with no need to stop to take a measurement and will be available for demonstration survey and rentals.

New P-wave sparker tool for deep crosshole tomography

30 June 2021

Geotomographie are presently testing a new downhole seismic source designed to operate over a standard 4 conductor wire line cable to depths of up to 1000m. The SBS1000 MAGNUM is a 2000J wide bandwidth high frequncy (around 3kHz) P-wave sparker source for conducting crosshole tomography investigations. The high voltage impulse generator electronics have been miniaturised to fit within three cylindrical housing suitable for deployment within standard 100mm diameter engineering borehole. Proposed markets for this tool include mining, Carbon Capture and Storage and Geological Disposal Facilities. For further information please feel free to contact us.

A borehole seismic tomography experiment was conducted at a halite mining site. The halite has been extracted from a deep saline layer by soluting the rock over decades. Subsidence was observed at the surface and a non-destructive method was requested to image the rock between existing boreholes. Borehole were multiple steel cased with low or no grouting between the different casings. The SBS1000 source was used to generate the
seismic signal and a 24-channel hydrophone string (2 m spacing) was used to acquire the data. These boreholes were doubled cased (one case within another). The high level of noise within the shot record indicates the bonding between the two cases was not optimal. Data courtesy of Geotomographie
