Home > ABEM Terrameter Ves & VES MAX
Inspired by the proven performance of the ABEM Terrameter LS 2 , the ABEM Terrameter VES range delivers enhanced functionality and performance for Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) surveys in electrical resistivity and Induced Polarization (IP) measurements. This range is designed to support accurate subsurface characterization while maintaining simplicity, reliability, and cost efficiency.
Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) is a well-established and widely used geophysical method for investigating subsurface resistivity variations beneath a single measurement point. Using a four-electrode configuration with progressively increasing electrode spacing, VES enables interpretation of resistivity changes at different depths, making it an effective and economical solution for groundwater, geological, and geotechnical investigations.
The ABEM Terrameter VES systems provide a complete VES solution with improved output power, enhanced data quality, and a refined user experience , all packaged in a robust and affordable instrument suitable for both routine surveys and demanding fieldwork.
ABEM Terrameter VES instruments are engineered for challenging field conditions and long-term reliability. The design builds on decades of field-proven performance from the Terrameter LS and LS 2 platforms, ensuring dependable operation across a wide range of environments.
The instrument features a rugged cast aluminum enclosure that combines durability with portability and complies with IEC IP66 standards, providing protection against dust and water ingress during data acquisition. Its modular and upgradable design allows users to expand functionality within the Terrameter product family, offering flexibility as survey requirements evolve.
The Terrameter VES and VES MAX are designed with an intuitive workflow that simplifies survey setup and operation from start to finish. Both instruments feature large, full-color displays and easy-to-navigate menus, enabling efficient configuration and smooth execution of VES surveys in the field.
These systems are equipped with ABEM Active Guidance, a smart assistance feature originally introduced in the Terrameter LS 2. With a single press of the guidance button, the system automatically recognizes the current screen, menu, or command and displays context-relevant information to support the user.
ABEM Active Guidance goes beyond a basic help function by providing practical tips and expert advice developed by experienced application engineers. This feature helps users avoid common setup errors, improves measurement confidence, and ensures more reliable data acquisition.
By combining user-friendly operation with intelligent guidance, the Terrameter VES and VES MAX deliver a workflow that feels like having an application engineer supporting your survey in real time, reinforcing Guideline Geo’s commitment to guiding users toward a better understanding of the subsurface.
Groundwater Exploration: Ideal for Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) to locate aquifers and determine water table depth in rural or remote areas.
Geological Assessment: Efficiently identify depth to bedrock and map geological layering for pre-construction and site investigations.
Environmental Studies: Detect and monitor groundwater contamination plumes and saline water intrusion in coastal regions.
Resistivity Depth Profiling: Provides cost-effective 1D resistivity measurements to verify soil layers and stratigraphy for agricultural and engineering projects.
The ABEM Terrameter VES is a modern replacement for the long-serving Terrameter SAS 1000, with improvements over its predecessor:
The ABEM Terrameter VES MAX is the VES instrument for users with high survey needs. Compared to the Terrameter VES, it features:
