Borehole televiewers – which include the High Resolution Acoustic Televiewer (HRAT)® and the High Resolution Optical Televiewer (Hi-OPTV)® – provide a continuous, orientated, high-resolution representation of the borehole wall, offering many advantages to geologists and geotechnical engineers. The data provides information about geology, structure, fractures, stress orientation and acts as a template for orientating cores and providing depth control where core recovery is incomplete.
In this age of information technology, objective and precise data, captured in situ, is transferred directly from borehole to computer, where it can be stored, processed, analysed and disseminated, literally at the touch of a button.
