In Geological surveying Omresearch & Testing Laboratory is involved in investigating the geology of the surface and subsurface of a given site. Generally speaking, these surveys are conducted with the purpose of building a geological map or model of an area. Geological surveys involve many different tactics, both intrusive and surface-level. Geological surveys are highly important to the world of civil and environmental engineering, and they help to provide crucial information about projects in numerous different fields, including oil and gas, water resources, coastal, and so many more.

Geological surveying relies on some techniques that evoke typical land surveying, such as walk-over tactics and studying outcrops and landforms. Geological surveys also use more intrusive methods, like hand augering and machine-driven boreholes.

With the advent of new technology in the field, we also use remote sensing methods like aerial photography and satellite imagery. These types of surveys are often conducted by state, provincial, or national surveying associations. However, for civil engineering projects, geological surveys can also be conducted by us. The geological data gained from these surveys can provide useful information about both surface and subsurface conditions. This information is applicable to numerous projects including civil works, exploring natural resources, mitigating environmental problems, and transportation.
