GEOLOGIC QESTIONS ABOUT:

RIPPABILITY

How strong is the bedrock? How big a bulldozer do I need to rip (rather than blast) a highway cut? Are there hard patches in the subsurface that I cannot rip?

Geophysical Solutions:

GOOD METHOD: Ground Penetrating Radar (M-12)

BETTER METHOD: Cross hole Seismic(M-6)

BEST METHOD: Seismic Refraction (M-1)

Honorable mention: Seismic Reflection (M-2)
