Geosto: Development of geophysical electromagnetic measurement methods

Name: Development of geophysical electromagnetic measurement methods

Acronym: NOVEL-EM

Duration: 1/2013 – 8/2016

Total costs (€)/Tekes support: 91000

Organisation: Geosto Oy

Contact person: Pauli Saksa, Geosto Oy, pauli.saksa(at)geosto.fi

www: www.geosto.fi

Research organization partners: Oulun Yliopisto

Need and motivation of the project:
To develop groundwater quality and contaminant migration monitoring methods for mine waste disposal areas and for enbankment dams. To improve environmental safety of the mine sites.

Main set targets:
Develop accurate measurement methods for monitoring application.

 

Key results and impact

System use and instrumentation calibration and processin g of the measurement data have been improved to routine application stage. System is in operational use at two metal mine sites in Finland.

Commercialization status (demos, pilotings, investments, products, services): In addition to mine site investigations several tests in controlled test environments have been conducted. Measurements can be offered commercially and with well determined content.
