Magnetics

Magnetics is our speciality. Since 1988, we have found hundreds of applications of magentic surveys. They include :

  • Locating geological hazards in coal mines
  • Buried Petrol tanks
  • Buried concrete
  • Buried Drums
  • Archaeology
  • Concrete cancer
  • Dykes - Engineering
  • Locating Roadways
  • Locating Old Mine Sites
  • Police Forensic
  • Shipwrecks
  • UXO
  • Minesweepers
  • Submarines
  • Rubbish Tips
  • Railway Tunnels
  • Marine Salvage

We manufacture and service our own magnetometers including :

  • Backpack mounted Overhausers and Fluxgates
  • Quad bike sled
  • Borehole magnetometers
  • Diver held Magnetometers
  • iPhone magnetometers - real time telemetry
  • Helimag (multi sensor for environmental work)

We offer data acquisition, processing and most importanty interpretation.

With Australia’s largest magnetometer fleet, we offer quick turn-around service and work with the best commercially available tools in addition to crafting our own. Ultramag has a robust research and development program that enables us to meet our client’s specific survey needs.

We offer both on-site and off-site interpretation services customised to your requirements. We incorporate geological information when available to offer the best interpretation. On mine sites interpretation is an evolving process - updates as new information comes to hand.

What is Aeromag and Groundmag?
Aeromag is a shortened term for aeromagnetic survey and is a common type of geophysical survey carried out using a magnetometer aboard or towed behind an aircraft. Groundmag refers to the carriage of magnetometers on land by foot to collect detailed geophysical data.
