Is there a typical soil resistivity for Boston?+
No citywide value can represent a parcel, substation, route, or facility. Boston-area ground can include glacial till, sand and gravel outwash, marine clay, bedrock, and historic fill. Seasonal frost, coastal exposure, and dense development create different field resistivity conditions within one program. Field measurements must be tied to the actual array, location, spacing, orientation, and current condition.
Does Wenner electrode spacing equal test depth?+
No. Larger spacing generally samples a larger earth volume, but spacing is not an exact one-to-one depth. Layering, array geometry, site boundaries, and conductive features affect the apparent response.
What information is needed to scope a Boston survey?+
Send the site plan, survey objective, grounding or corrosion design request, proposed stations and spacings, final grading information, candidate line corridors, utility-clearance responsibility, access rules, schedule, and required report format.
Can Calicore mobilize outside California?+
Yes. Calicore performs project-based Wenner field programs throughout the United States when the station count, spacing, access, schedule, and mobilization are practical.
