Acoustic Televiewer
Utilising Advanced Logic Technology's latest generation ABI40 Acoustic Televiewer and a customised logging vehicle, ABIM Solutions can conduct Acoustic Televiewer wireline surveys in both underground and surface mining operations and civil construction projects.
The ABI40 Acoustic Televiewer generates an image of the drillhole wall by transmitting ultrasound pulses from a rotating sensor and recording the amplitude and travel time of the signals reflected from the drillhole wall. Data is transferred back to the surface via a wireline in real time.
The tool is ideal for geological definition, geotechnical rock mass characterisation, determination of fracture frequency and orientation and primary stress orientation.
The key advantages of using the ABI40 Acoustic Televiewer:
- Measurement of every structure - 1.5mm wide acoustic beam can produce sub-millimetre fracture measurements
- Data has multiple uses - geological definition, geotechnical rock mass characterisation, determination of fracture frequency and orientation, primary stress orientation etc.
- Full structural log of each hole in digital format
- Digital data acquisition - manual data transformation errors eliminated
- Logs can be calibrated to give rock strength and RMR values
- Highly accurate, orientated, calliper measurements for breakout analysis - 0.1mm resolution
