Comprehensive Electromagnetic Profiling Investigation of Former Uranium Processing Site in New York City, NY
Project Description:
American Geophysics conducted a comprehensive electromagnetic profiling investigation at a historic uranium processing site in New York City. The mission focused on identifying potential underground storage tanks (USTs) and other subsurface anomalies that could pose environmental or structural risks. Utilizing advanced equipment, including the Radiodetection RD1100 250MHz Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and the Geonics EM31-MK2 Ground Conductivity Meter, the team expertly calibrated to the site’s challenging urban conditions to ensure precise data collection and analysis. The investigation produced notable results. The EM31 detected lead radiation shielding buried beneath layers of concrete, as well as buried railroad tracks located three to four feet below ground surface (BGS). Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) further validated these findings, delivering a detailed and accurate subsurface profile. By combining EM-31 and GPR technologies, American Geophysics showcased its expertise in electromagnetic profiling, delivering critical insights to address complex subsurface challenges in urban environments like NYC.
