VIBSIST-500, all terrain mid range seismic source

The VIBSIST-500 is multi-impact, time-distributed seismic sources intended for detailed seismic surveys in remote and environmentally sensitive areas or from tunnels and mine galleries. The light 500 J/impact model provides high-maneuverability and mobility in urban, industrial and mining environments.

The seismic signals are generated by a hydraulic hammer mounted on a miniature tracked vehicle, which produces a rapid sequence of impacts according to a pre-programmed time function.

Key features

  • All terrain reflection seismic source
