Our products
GD series D.C. geo-electrical system is a world-leading multi-functional direct current (D.C.) method instrument, based on the latest digital and analog
circuitry technology. GD series comprises of GD-10 single-channel system and GD-20 multi-channel system. This series is capable of performing electrical
resistivity tomography (ERT), self-potential (SP) and induced polarization (IP) measurements. Apart from conventional electrical soundings, our products also
support cross-sectional profiling with 2D or 3D ERT arrays. GD series is not only supports conventional ground surveys, but also the geo-electrical
measurements in borehole logging, coal mining tunnels, marine and submarine surveys. This series is even equipped with online real-time field monitoring
mode, enabling our clients to perform unattended and automated surveys remotely for long durations.

Geomative has absorbed the advantages from both conventional centralized cabling system and distributed cabling system. We corporated the low-cost and
high reliability of the former along with the high efficiency and infinitely extensible cable sections of the latter system. A segment-centralized distributed wiring
mode was hence innovated by Geomative, acquiring both the rapidness of distributed cabling and the reliability of centralized cabling.
