Objective of the project

  • Development of a data acquisition system for combined geophysical measurements (Electrical Resistivity/Shear Wave Velocity) aimed at the hydro-geotechnical characterization of earthen river embankments.
  • Development of hardware components on an integrated land streamer
  • Implementation of rapid in situ processing algorithms in emergency contexts, and combined processing algorithms
  • Hydro-geotechnical modelling of hydraulic defence works based on geophysical results

RICADUTE PREVISTE SULLA COMPETITIVITÀ DELLE IMPRESE COINVOLTE

Creation of a tangible market in the fields of territorial, environmental, geological, and agricultural protection (precision agriculture), where detailed large-scale surveys are required—currently prohibitive and seldom proposed or requested due to high costs and long acquisition times.

COLLABORAZIONE ATTIVATA, SIA TRA IMPRESE CHE CON ORGANISMI DI RICERCA

  • Techgea Srl (Lead Partner): non-invasive surveys of geological, hydrogeological, structural, environmental, and related types.
  • Geodes Srl (Partner): structural and geotechnical design company
  • UNITO – DST (ODR): laboratorio di Caratterizzazione Geofisica e geologico-tecnica

RUOLO SVOLTO DAL POLO (anche in prospettiva)

  • Coinvolgimento e motivazione sin dalla concezione del progetto
  • Active support in the development of the project
  • Support in addressing administrative and bureaucratic matters
  • Aggregation

MODALITÀ DI DIFFUSIONE DEI RISULTATI

  • Methodology and software component: Publication of the survey and processing methodologies in specialized scientific journals (e.g., Geophysics, Applied Geophysics, Near Surface Geophysics)
  • Hardware: potential patent application (to be defined)

Thematic areas

  • Territory and infrastructure protection
