What is MASW?

MASW stands for Multichannel Analysis of Seismic Waves, and is a way to measure the Shear Wave velocity (Vs), which is an elastic constant of Young’s modulus. This helps to determine the ground strength, or stiffness, and load-bearing capacity.

MASW is also used to map out soil strength without the need for drilling. This helps to identify rock head depth, soil stiffness, and void location.

What is MASW?
MASW, or Multichannel Analysis of Seismic Waves, represents a methodology employed for the measurement of Shear Wave Velocity (Vs), which serves as an elastic constant associated with Young's modulus. This technique is instrumental in assessing the ground's strength, or stiffness, as well as its capacity to bear loads.

Furthermore, MASW is utilized for the delineation of soil strength, obviating the necessity for drilling. This approach facilitates the determination of rock head depth, soil stiffness, and the location of voids.

A very powerful and fast geophysical method.

Employ a geophysical survey in conjunction with sophisticated processing methodologies to accurately determine the velocity of Shear waves within the soils.

Active mode – to 25m

The Passive Mode is now capable of operating within a 100-meter range, eliminating the necessity for external sources of sound. This advancement leverages the natural ground noise as a sustainable and reliable source of sound.
