Abstract

We have investigated the applicability of resistivity derived either from surface electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) or airborne electromagnetic (AEM) surveys to a tunnel pre-investigation. We have exploited resistivity models to map the extent of toxic black shale along a tunnel alignment in central Norway. The resistivity models acquired before excavation and supported by laboratory measurements enabled us to map geological layers that are in agreement with the rock types subsequently observed from drillings and geological logging during tunneling. Our results highlight the potential of AEM surveys for such tunnel pre-investigations.
