about echovision
We listen, you see.
EchoVision helps geothermal and geotechnical teams get the subsurface insight they need to make confident decisions, faster.
We start with helping you define your subsurface image target, then combine decades of seismic expertise and experience with the right technology and processes to deliver fit-for-purpose subsurface intelligence quickly and cost-effectively.
From initial feasibility through development and long-term monitoring, we manage the technical and practical demands on your behalf, providing continuity throughout the project lifecycle and freeing your team to focus on the decisions that move it forward.
Choosing the right seismic method for the ground question.
Different engineering questions demand different approaches to subsurface imaging.
EchoVision combines expertise in MASW, seismic refraction, 2D and 3D seismic reflection, and ambient noise tomography with the practical experience to plan, manage and deliver your investigation. We tailor the methods and survey design to your site and objectives, providing the subsurface insight you need to make informed engineering decisions.
Imaging depth
0m
Towed land streamer
Acquire dense shallow data quickly
Rapidly collect closely spaced seismic measurements across accessible sites and corridors to investigate near-surface variability with minimal deployment time.
Seismic refraction
Define layers and depth to competent ground
Use changes in seismic velocity to map subsurface interfaces, estimate bedrock depth and investigate variation in soil and rock properties.
Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT)
Build a bigger picture of deeper ground structures
Use naturally occurring seismic noise to map variations in shear-wave velocity and reveal larger-scale geological structure, typically from tens to hundreds of metres below ground, without requiring an active seismic source.
Seismic reflection
Image deep, complex subsurface structures in high-definition
Create detailed images of geological boundaries, structures and deeper ground conditions where greater resolution or investigation depth is required.
Domain experience matters
30+ years of seismic experience behind every project.
EchoVision brings deep seismic expertise across geothermal, geotechnical, near-surface and land applications, supporting the full imaging journey from survey design and acquisition through processing, interpretation and decision-ready outputs.
Our experience spans a wide range of subsurface targets and investigation challenges, from faults, fractures and voids to groundwater pathways, ground stability, reservoir characterisation and complex site conditions.
What this means for our customers
We help geothermal and geotechnical teams acquire the seismic they need to make confident decisions sooner.

Geothermal
Revealing York’s deep geothermal target with high-resolution 3D seismic
The University of York commissioned a 3D seismic survey to improve understanding of the deep subsurface beneath York and support the planning of a future geothermal well.
Geotechnical
Confirming ground conditions for industrial plant expansion
A combination of MASW, seismic refraction, and 2D shear-wave reflection seismic to help confirm soil competence for new vessel pads and steel structure additions at an active nitrogen plant in Alberta.
Geotechnical
Rapid seismic insight for confident construction planning
A two-person crew deployed a non-invasive MASW survey in one hour, providing the Vs30 and ground-stability information needed to support development planning within three days.
