Ground response to electrical current

Soil electrical resistivity

Measures how strongly the ground resists electrical current, usually using spaced electrodes placed along the test line.

What the service involves

Built around the decision you need to make.

A controlled current is passed through the ground and the resulting voltage is measured at selected electrode spacings.

01

Commonly used for

  • Earthing-system design inputs
  • Corrosion and ground-condition assessment
  • Comparison of depth-related ground response
  • Supporting specialist electrical or geotechnical design
02

Typical deliverables

  • Test positions and electrode spacings
  • Measured apparent resistivity
  • Site-condition record
  • Tabulated results for the appointed designer
