Geostuff: Essential Seismic Accessories
Geostuff manufactures limited production geophysical accessories which fill an important need, but where the market is not served by major geophysical companies. We believe that we are the world’s leading (if not the only) manufacturer of each of our products. Currently, we supply:
Land Streamers,
Rollalong Switches,
Wall-lock
Borehole Geophones
and other accessories for seismic surveys.
A
Land Streamer is a string of geophones designed to be
towed along the ground. It greatly increases production in seismic surveys by eliminating
the need to individually plant, connect, and then move groups of geophones. For more information, visit the
Land Streamer page.
A Borehole Geophone is a particular type of vibration
detector for seismic waves--one that is designed to be used in a hole drilled
in the ground. A wall-lock geophone is one designed to clamp the phone against
the side of the borehole wall, usually so that S-waves or shear waves can be
recorded. For more information, visit the Borehole Geophone page.
A Rollalong Switch is used in exploration
seismology to select a group of geophones from a longer array placed on the
ground surface. In common mid-point (or CMP, or common depth point, or CDP) reflection surveys, the geophone array is moved a short
distance each shot. It is more convenient to do this electrically with a
rollalong switch. For descriptions, visit the Rollalong
Switch page
