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.
The VIBSIST-500 is intended for detailed surface, borehole and underground surveys with a typical penetration range of 800 to 1000m, in reflection mode.
