Investigative surveys for landfill location and delineation are conducted worldwide. The following can be located and investigated at your landfill site:

• landfill depth and extent
• landfill cells
• leachate plume
• buried objects
• burial trench location

The most common methods used for investigating landfills are the geophysical methods of electromagnetic conductivity (EM), ground penetrating radar (GPR), and ground resistivity. Photographs showing how these geophysical survey methods are conducted are shown below:

Results of geophysical surveys conducted at landfill sites are shown below:
