Leading the way in Precision Sensing for Smart Infrastructure
SMG the leading company in the development of MEMS surface microgravimetry and is offering a new type of portable gravimeter that is better than the traditional surface gravity sensors. Our new MEMS gravity technology provides high precision, multi-scale and real-time operational feedback, which is a significant improvement in construction, geotechnical surveying and subsurface imaging.
Accuracy
It is capable of measuring subsurface voids, aquifers, and buried objects with a precision of microGal level.
Scalability
Can be used in handheld mode, paired with autonomous vehicles and drones, and may be used in shallow boreholes and sensor networks.
Efficiency
Compact, light and inexpensive, it does not pose the problems of logistics of heavy and fragile conventional gravimeters.
Reliability
The product is portable, strong and stable and can be used in almost any terrain or climate condition.
Technology Comparison.
How our Gravimeter compares to other similar devices?
MEMS gravimetry is changing the way of conducting subsurface surveys by proposing a silent, effective and precise method than the current Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), electromagnetic sensors and conventional gravimeters. Our next-generation gravimeter is a more economical and efficient solution for the construction industry, infrastructure development and environmental surveys.
Non-Invasive & Highly Accurate
Whereas, MEMS gravimetry is unaffected by substrate density or interference, GPR and electromagnetic sensors are sensitive to signal emissions or ground contact.
Portability & Field Deployment
Gravimeters are big, fragile and have to be calibrated precisely, whereas MEMS gravimeters are small, strong and can be taken into the field for use in active construction sites.
Lower Operational Costs
Typical gravimeters are costly and need highly trained personnel to man them, whereas our MEMS based system is less costly to operate, requires minimal or no labor for regulation and requires low maintenance.
Versatile Integration
MEMS gravimeters can be attached to drones, incorporated into sensor networks, or placed in boreholes to provide real time data collection in many construction and engineering projects.
Applications
Our next-generation portable field gravimeter enhances subsurface exploration, reduces risks, improves on the accuracy of excavation and facilitates infrastructure planning.
Operational Use Cases.
Detect and Map Buried Infrastructure
Reveal the location of pipelines, tunnels and conduits underneath roads and construction sites, to avoid costly mistakes and damages to structures.
Trenching & Excavation Planning
Minimalise traffic congestion, utility compromises, and environmental effects by determining the layout of the underground structures before trenching or any construction activity.
Large-Scale Underground Construction
Decrease the risks in tunnelling and excavation by identifying the geological formations and voids earlier itself.
Geophysics & Environmental Monitoring
Detect subsurface voids, abandoned mines, sink holes, and groundwater pathways with high precision gravity sensing.
