Thunderbird ERT
INTRODUCING THUNDERBIRD
Click here to see the full video.
The most technologically advanced electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) system in the geophysical subsurface investigation marketplace today. Thunderbird has higher accuracy and better resolution than the competition.
How it works

RELIABLE RESULTS.
Identical surveys were taken with Thunderbird and a competitor.
Thunderbird clearly identified a significant void . . . the competitor did not!

Thunderbird’s dynamic electrical resistivity system employs a computer installed in each “smart” node that gives you the ability to gather more data at a higher rate and improved accuracy.

Unlike competitor systems, each Thunderbird electronic node (Intellinode™) is a micro-computer, allowing Thunderbird to be more adaptable in the field. Nodes can be added and removed easily without the hassle of swapping out a whole string to keep you working and reduce your downtime.
INTELLIGENT NODES
Thunderbird’s dynamic electrical resistivity system employs a computer installed in each “smart” node that gives you the ability to gather more data at a higher rate and improved accuracy.

Thunderbird injects up to 4 times more current into the ground than competitor systems; more current means more data. And because Thunderbird is not limited by the number of channels, it can instead collect all useable data. This is an unparalleled advancement in ERT technology that provides higher resolution.
HIGHER
RESOLUTION
Thunderbird’s dynamic electrical resistivity system employs a computer installed in each “smart” node that gives you the ability to gather more data at a higher rate and improved accuracy.

Thunderbird will generate inversion visualizations in the field with no additional software. Thunderbird allows users to choose from two state-of-the-art inversion methods to visualize the data: Finite Element (FEM) and Finite Difference (FD).
IN-FIELD VISUALIZATIONS
Thunderbird’s dynamic electrical resistivity system employs a computer installed in each “smart” node that gives you the ability to gather more data at a higher rate and improved accuracy.

Our 1-touch technology allows you to run surveys, gather data, analyze results, and store information seamlessly.
ONE-BUTTON SURVEYS
Thunderbird’s dynamic electrical resistivity system employs a computer installed in each “smart” node that gives you the ability to gather more data at a higher rate and improved accuracy.

Industry-leading software offers maximum control over collection, processing, and output for professionals ready to push their resistivity analysis to the next level.
SUPERIOR PROCESSING
CUSTOMIZABLE
SYSTEM
Thunderbird’s dynamic electrical resistivity system employs a computer installed in each “smart” node that gives you the ability to gather more data at a higher rate and improved accuracy.

Users can perform surveys of different spacings without changing the physical locations of the electrodes. This is accomplished by using the Intellinode™‑ to “skip” nodes to increase the intermediate spacing.
