| Scanning the United Arab Emirates | Seeker System Aids In Exciting Egyptian Discovery |
|
MACE Contractors, headquartered in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, recently took delivery of several Seeker SPR 500 systems and additional antennas. The systems are being used for projects throughout the United Arab Emirates and its surrounding countries. |
Our Seeker SPR 500 System recently played a vital role in helping the Scottish Egyptian Archaeological Trust explore the historical Saqqara Necropolis. The 500 MHz antenna with controller was pulled across the Saqqara dig site on the edge of the Sahara Desert in a 0.5 meter grid pattern. Images produced by the Seeker SPR 500 allowed archaeologists to detect buried ruins. |
When Hanover Engineering began work on a 20-mile long sewer project estimated at $18 million, they knew it wouldn't be easy to analyze the subsurface rock on the trench lines. Traditionally, this task would require boring test holes approximately every 30 feet--a tedious, time-consuming approach that's still regularly followed. If the project's team had stuck with this approach, more than 3,500 holes would have to be bored for analysis.
