DETECTION & GEOPHYSICS

Making the hidden visible.

We bring the hidden to light

Worldwide, continents and oceans bear the traces of past civilizations and conflicts: Wars leave their mark in the form of unexploded ordnance and minefields; contaminated sites and industrial wastelands pollute the soil; and sometimes, one even finds the structures of long-ago settlements that can shed light on the societies and cultures of past epochs.

One of FOERSTER’s core competencies is the production of ultra-responsive sensor technology that can locate and reveal these relics. The company has developed a wide range of products based on the same principles as those behind Prof. Friedrich Förster’s original invention, a highly sensitive fluxgate magnetometer. These innovative instruments meet the exacting quality standards of our customers in the business of detection.

Used as standalone devices or as complete detection systems, these products find application in a wide range of geophysical exploration activities. The measurement data provide you with the foundations for precise localization of contaminated sites or ancient artefacts, and they form the basis for estimating the associated salvage effort. Archaeological treasures can thus be precisely recorded and documented.

As a more sensitive sensor alternative, a GEOMETRICS cesium vapor magnetometer Type 824 A can be connected to the FEREX 4.034. This provides advanced opportunities for the field of archaeological survey.
