Radai’s in-house developed EM survey system provides information about the electrical conductivity of the subsurface. The applications of the EM system include geological mapping, mineral exploration, groundwater and geotechnical investigations and environmental monitoring. Drone-based airborne system has the benefit of avoiding terrain obstacles and, thus, offers faster, safer, more cost effective survey data.
