Hydro- and geological research

Understanding the flow of water or the melting of glaciers is essential for scientists. Distributed Temperature Sensing is revolutionizing the possibilities in understanding these environmental dynamics. With a broad range of solutions AP Sensing is addressing the needs for structural condition monitoring of dams, dykes and levees as well as monitoring leakages and water movements.

Geothermal Response Tests (GRT, EGRT)

The traditional geothermal response test GRT is an accepted field method to determine the effective thermal conductance of the ground. Together with its recognized partners AP Sensing has developed a controlled enhanced geothermal response test EGRT solution. The geothermal parameters are evaluated in-situ as a function of the entire depth or length of the embedded borehole heat exchanger. Using AP Sensing`s GeoDTS Technology, the temperature along the heat exchanger pipes can be determined at any point and any time which allows the evaluation of a number of thermal parameters dependent of the location.
