APPLICATIONS
APPLICATIONS
Our broadband sensors and seismic digitisers are used across a range of sectors for applications that include academic research, civil protection programmes, structural monitoring, optimisation of energy production activities and geophysical exploration.
Whatever your application, we have proven instrumentation for deployment at the surface, deep underground and on the ocean floor. We can provide everything you need, from individual sensors, to fully installed turnkey systems.
SEISMOLOGY
Our broadband sensors record seismic events of all kinds, from large earthquakes occurring on the other side of the planet, to activity triggered by the movement of magma prior to a volcanic eruption, to microseismic signals induced by human activities.
Earthquake monitoring and early warning
Data from our equipment is used to advance human understanding of how the Earth's crust behaves. Our instrumentation is available in portable units with integrated data acquisition capability, suitable for short to medium term field deployment, such as for aftershock monitoring; or as real-time, permanent networks with rapid processing and communication capability such as EEW or tsunami early warning application.…
Induced seismicity
We supply systems to monitor induced seismicity for energy related applications that include hydroelectric dams, geothermal power plants, hydraulic fracturing, waste water injection and underground storage of CO2. Our temporary networks are widely used to baseline regional seismicity in advance of commencing operations and to monitor aftershocks from unexpected events. Our permanent systems deliver continuous event data for operational feedback…
Volcano monitoring
Güralp has provided surface, borehole and ocean bottom instrumentation for a large number of volcano monitoring projects around the world. The equipment we provide ranges from rapid deployment temporary instruments to cabled systems for long term monitoring. Our high sensitivity instruments are capable of monitoring volcanic tremors and movements of magma whilst our strong motion instruments measure the ground response…
Nuclear test ban treaty monitoring
There are seismic arrays located around the world monitoring for nuclear weapons testing in breach of the international test ban treaty. As well as supplying many of the seismometers utilised across the global array network, for many years, Güralp has operated the UK's monitoring array, with a dedicated team on site to ensure an uninterrupted service.
Perimeter security
Güralp provides solutions for perimeter security monitoring. Our highly sensitive instruments are used by civil and military organisations worldwide for protecting critical infrastructure and facilities. Our low latency networks deliver real-time event information and alarms enabling rapid response to the event.

Shake maps
in Shake Maps
by Super User
Güralp equipment is frequently used to produce shake maps following significant earthquake events. Unlike most of our earthquake monitoring systems that determine magnitude and epicentre, our shake mapping systems provide the spatial distribution of ground motion caused by the earthquake. With our low latency networks, shake maps can be produced within minutes of an event and can therefore be used to coordinate emergency response activities.

ENERGY
Across the energy sector our customers use Güralp instrumentation to understand physical processes and optimise energy production. Our customers include national and international specialists operating in geothermal energy and the oil and gas market.
Our brochure 'Microseismic Monitoring for the Energy Sector' provides more information on how our instrumentation can be used to monitor induced seismicity resulting from energy production and storage operations, an area that is increasingly the subject of regulatory monitoring.
