HGI - LEAK DETECTION

hydroGEOPHYSICS, Inc. (HGI) was founded in 1981 as a geophysical consulting and service provider centered on the application of geophysical methodologies to analyze, understand, and image near subsurface earth structures associated with mining, petroleum, mineral exploration, groundwater, archaeology, site clearance, and environmental remediation... Of particular importance was finding a technology capable of reliable detection of very small leaks from large subsurface nuclear waste storage tanks. The one million gallon tanks were constructed as part of the Manhattan Project, in the 1940's, to hold process waste from the generation of nuclear material for the World War II and Cold War atomic bombs. HGI provided an innovative technology that utilized steel well casings, already installed around the tanks, as "sensors" connected via cabling and used the casings to transmit and receive electrical signals. The technology formed part of HGI's High Resolution Resistivity Leak Detection..
