Microseismic and ultrasonic monitoring, both passive and active, allows engineers to non-destructively monitor the integrity of engineered structures and locate areas of weakness.
ASC Provides:
Monitoring of structural responses
during environmental loading and
concrete curing.
Safety monitoring of tunnels and
underground spaces.
Radioactive waste storage site
suitability assessment and
containment monitoring.
Slope stability analysis and
integrity assurance.
Early warning of catastrophic
failure of rock, concrete and
engineered materials.
Investigation of active fault zones, compaction and subsidence in and
around engineered structures.
Services
ASC has pioneered the application of
microseismic, Acoustic Emission and
ultrasonic technologies to the monitoring of
rock, concrete and engineered materials
through its InSite Seismic Processor and
Enhanced Microseismics Program.
Passive microseismic or Acoustic Emission technologies
map fracturing through the monitored volume.
Active three-dimensional surveying allows the velocity field
to be mapped through the structure and volumes of
degradation to be identified and quantified.
ASC provides the industry’s leading hardware-independent
software package, that includes standard tools as well as
advanced analysis and options for do-it-yourself processing.
Our full integrated consulting service can provide array
design, a broad spectrum of processing services, results
interpretation and correlation of the data with dynamic
numerical models of the fracture network and mechanics.
Experience and Innovation
ASC is at the leading edge of
providing technologies for
commercial microseismic
applications.
We continue to develop unique
algorithms for managing and processing
acoustic and microseismic data from a
wide range of engineering scenarios.
Our software release and support
system provides these latest
technologies through our website
client-login area.
Our InSiteDB database technologies are
networking remote engineers and
clients to real-time and post-processed
data sets and results.
Our Enhanced Microseismics program
provides an integrated interpretation of
the structure’s response through
correlation of dynamic numerical
models with fracture network structures
identified using our microseismic,
Acoustic Emission and ultrasonic
technologies.

Software and Data Aquisition
Our flagship software package,
InSite, is an integrated tool for
seismic data acquisition,
processing, management and
visualisation providing a full threedimensional
microseismic analysis
for both passive and active surveys.
Our software is fully
automated, can be run
in real-time and
provides advanced data
management,
processing and
visualisation features.

ASC couples innovative high-frequency
electronics architecture with real-time
data processing software to provide costeffective
solutions with the highest
possible data-flow rates and
microseismic-acquisition specifications
tailored to the technological
requirements of our clients.
We provide fully-featured microseismic
training courses focussed on the
principles behind the technology,
processing algorithms and hands-on
experience of using the software.
