Applied Seismology Consultants

read moreOur expertise and knowledge are in the application of seismology to the understanding and imaging of both natural and anthropogenic deformation and fracturing processes in rock and brittle materials, at a range of scales from acoustic emission testing in the laboratory up to microseismic monitoring in the field and regional-scale earthquakes. For the past 20 years, ASC has applied the techniques of seismology, such as geophysical imaging and waveform analysis, source location and analysis of spatial and temporal patterns, to a range of industries including geological storage, mining, energy and civil engineering.

read moreASC specializes in the commercial application of the techniques of seismic monitoring for researchers, regulatory authorities and operators and has pioneered the application of microseismic, acoustic emission, and ultrasonic technologies to the monitoring of rock and concrete. Using our seismic processing software InSite, ASC can provide seismic and environmental vibration analysis, induced seismicity evaluation, monitoring and analysis of geohazards, baseline seismicity, and the impact of engineering options.

read moreWe have used the knowledge and experience gained through ASC's range of projects and applications over the years to put together a series of practical and relevant training courses. These training courses are provided at different levels ranging from the basic level to advanced and can be delivered in-house (at our UK office or at the client's office) or alternatively delivered remotely online. ASC can also provide and deliver custom training courses. Contact us to register your interest for any of our scheduled courses or discuss the content and delivery of a course tailored to your application or area of interest.

read morePassive and active seismic monitoring are non-intrusive, non-destructive techniques to characterise the health state and integrity of rock and engineered structures, providing a means of imaging and quantifying crack development, damage and disturbance accumulation. Seismic observations can be used to update predictive structural models.
