Geophysical prospecting in Belgium, France and Luxembourg
Technology meets the past
Our offer
Whether it's heritage sites, civil engineering projects, or private properties, each site presents a different challenge. We address these challenges with the appropriate methodology, from on-site surveys to the final report.
Heritage & Archaeology
Mapping of archaeological sites: foundations, pits, ancient roads, wells, megaliths, cavities and metal objects — without excavation.
Civil engineering & networks
Detection of buried networks — electricity, water, gas — tanks, cisterns, cavities and UXO before excavation or construction.
Individuals
Discover an old well, a cistern, a walled cellar or any forgotten structure on your land, with a clear and usable rendering.
A lit view of the basement
Ground-penetrating radar, magnetometer, resistivity meter, EMI, seismic: we combine several methods and in-depth data analysis for a precise view of the subsoil, without excavation.
01
Exchange & quote
You describe your land and your objectives; we define the appropriate method and a clear quote.
02
On-site acquisition
Georeferenced surveys using ground-penetrating radar, magnetometer, resistivity meter, EMI or seismic, both indoors and outdoors.
03
Processing & analysis
The data is processed and interpreted in the office: localized anomalies, estimated depths, prioritized hypotheses.
04
Report & Recommendations
You will receive an illustrated report: georeferenced maps, interpretation of anomalies and practical advice for the next steps.
Geophysical prospecting in Belgium: seeing the subsoil without digging
Based in the province of Luxembourg, Prospection Lab conducts geophysical surveys throughout Belgium, France, and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. Our mission: to reveal what lies beneath your feet—remains, networks, tanks, or cavities—without lifting a single shovel.
Each site presents a different question, and no single method is sufficient to answer it. We therefore combine five complementary techniques: ground-penetrating radar (GPR), which precisely maps buried structures; magnetometers, highly effective for locating furnaces, filled ditches, and ferrous masses; resistivity meters, which distinguish walls, embankments, and geological layers based on the electrical resistance of the soil; electromagnetic induction (EMI), ideal for rapidly covering large areas; and seismic surveys, which provide information on the deep structure of the ground.
Our services are aimed at three main groups. Archaeologists and heritage managers: we conduct surveys of plots, sites, and the areas surrounding monuments prior to excavation, to target soundings in a completely non-destructive manner. Construction and civil engineering professionals: we detect buried networks before earthworks, locate tanks and cisterns, and search for cavities or unexploded ordnance (UXO) before construction begins. Finally, private individuals: we help them locate an old well, a septic tank, a walled-up cellar, or a tank whose location has been lost.
Each mission concludes with a clear report: georeferenced maps, interpretation of anomalies, and practical recommendations. We travel with lightweight equipment that won't damage lawns, crops, or paving. Describe your land to us: we'll quickly tell you what geophysical prospecting can offer.
