Description

Groundwater and environmental TEM surveys are now more affordable, less complex, and quicker with the ABEM GroundTEM i5 and i10. These low-cost, user-friendly, app-controlled instruments, complement the existing ABEM WalkTEM range perfectly.

Power comes from removable lightweight lithium-ion batteries and control is through a dedicated Android/iOS app. Easy to carry into the field, and set-up, getting resistivity information to depths in excess of 200m takes just minutes.

What is TEM?

TEM (Transient Electromagnetic) is a geophysical technique used to obtain vertical resistivity soundings and a method which responds most strongly to conductive materials.

The method is non-destructive and uses a series of wire loops for transmitting and receiving signals in the ground so no marks will be left in the survey area after measurements are finished.

The TEM procedure is remarkably efficient: with just a 40×40 meter square transmitter loop and 1 or 2 smaller receiver coils, it is possible to reach depths of 200-250 meters and to get from setting-up to a resistivity model only takes a few minutes. With a suitable system configuration, it is possible to reach depths of more than 800 meters, without a huge increase in survey times.

The TEM method is perfectly suited to locating groundwater and minerals, but also useful for applications such as geological mapping and environmental surveys.

Typical application areas

Resistivity variation can help locate groundwater, monitor aquifer health, identify potential pollutants or saltwater intrusion, and differentiate between different geological deposits.

Affordable but capable Redefining what you can expect from an entry-level system The lower starting price of the GroundTEM range does not mean this is a ‘stripped-back’ system. It benefits from dual-moment output: measurements configured for both shallow and deeper responses are collected in a single measurement period, and then combined in the same data file. There is a choice of two transmitter loop sizes (20x20m and 40x40m) and a choice of flexible 3x3m receiver coil or our existing RC-5 antenna.
		Quick and easy to use Fast in-field set-up and a user-freiendly mobile app simplifies use of the GroundTEM Roll out the receiver coil, then the transmitter loop and attach both to the instrument. There is no right-or-wrong way to lay these out; they are not directional. Start the GroundTEM App (Android and iOS), select a survey line and station number, then follow the on-screen prompts to choose a measurement script. The system is ready to go: select how long you wish to measure for and press the “play” button. . .
Simple to deploy Lightweight, with all components shipped in a single Peli-style case The whole system ships in a single transport case, with integral wheels and handles. Arrive on site, open the case and the instrument, transmitter loop, and receiver coil are ready to lay out. Power comes from two small Li-ion battery packs that mount inside the instrument case, removing the need for heavy, external 12V batteries. The transport case (when loaded with the instrument, transmitter loops, receiver coil and battery charger) weighs under 32kg, and thus can be shipped as hold luggage on regular flights. In extreme cases, the system can be packed down into smaller cases for even easier transportation.
		A rugged system made for the field Designed and optimized for even the harshest of conditions Remote Wi-Fi connectivity can allow the ABEM support team to assist with software upgrades, give support or troubleshoot if necessary. This unique feature ensures that the system is always up to date, operating correctly, with the risk of downtime kept to an absolute minimum. GroundTEM app: Android, iOS Onboard power (RX+TX): 2x removeable Li-ion 14.4V, 6.8Ah, 99.4Wh Instrument weight: 6kg, incl. batteries (~13lbs) Environmental: IP65, -20 to +50°C Positioning: Onboard GNSS Upgrades & diagnostics: Remote, via internet

WEBINARS .. Introduction to ABEM GroundTEM i5 and i10 ABEM Product Manager, Jimmy Adcock, provides an introduction to both the TEM method and the AABEM GroundTEM system and accessories. This short webinar, hosted by our ABEM Product Manager, Jimmy Adcock, introduces our recently launched ABEM GroundTEM i5 and i10 instruments. It showcases the new products, the ethos behind them, discusses their primary application areas, particularly groundwater exploration, and summarises their specifications. A short demo of the user interface will also be given.
