EARTH RESISTIVITY TOMOGRAPHY SIMULATIONS OVER AN EARTHING SYSTEM

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaperpeer-review

Abstract

The soil resistivity is an important value for the designing of earthing systems (ES). Therefore, sophisticated methods are needed to determine the soil model. In this work a simulated Earth Resistivity Tomography (ERT) is carried out over an ES. The survey line is placed partially above the ES in two different directions. The ERT provides enough data points to obtain the soil model including the isolation of the placed ES with the Geophysical Inversion Module pyGIMLI. Compared to traditional Wenner 4-point measurements (VES), which is a standard procedure, according to [1], [2], the ERT method provides more subsurface information within the same survey line length. Further, the synthetic soil model can be properly reconstructed with the inversion module.
