Our surface range includes observatory grade weak-motion instruments designed for vault installations; versatile seismic stations for rapid deployments in shallow pits or postholes; and strong motion sensors that can be attached to building structures and networked alongside other critical services.

RELIABILITY IN THE FIELD

Güralp surface instruments are trusted by seismic network operators, research institutions and industry specialists worldwide for their proven reliability, exceptional sensitivity and ability to deliver high-quality seismic data in a wide range of environments.

Designed for both permanent network installations and rapid temporary deployment, our instruments combine precision sensor technology with robust, compact and portable designs, making them suitable for installation in buildings, vaults, shallow pits and direct-burial applications.

HIGH-QUALITY DATA

Low self-noise, wide dynamic range and advanced environmental protection ensure dependable measurement of ground motion, from subtle microseismic activity and distant earthquakes to significant local seismic events.

Our surface systems are used extensively in national and regional seismic networks, earthquake and aftershock monitoring, volcano surveillance, induced seismicity monitoring, geothermal energy, carbon storage and seismic exploration.

Whether establishing a long-term monitoring station in a remote location or rapidly deploying a temporary network following a seismic event, Güralp provides the performance, flexibility and confidence needed to capture reliable data in the field.

WIDE DYNAMIC RANGE

Our broadband sensor range spans the full seismic spectrum, providing solutions for virtually any monitoring requirement.

Our medium-motion sensors feature adjustable responses for greater flexibility, making them particularly well suited to instrument pools and variable deployment requirements.

For applications that need to capture signals at both ends of the spectrum, our dual-sensor solutions combine weak- and strong-motion capabilities in a single instrument, delivering comprehensive seismic data from one installation.

What kind of system do you need?

We have solutions for every scenario:

SEISMOMETERS

Image

Seismometers measure ground velocity (or displacement) suitable for detecting very faint, distant earthquakes or very small nearby seismic events.

Ideal for: earthquake monitoring, seismic and volcanic research and mapping the Earth's interior

ACCELEROMETERS

Image

Accelerometers measure the rate of change of velocity (acceleration) of the ground during an earthquake. They can withstand the high-energy shaking that would be too sensitive for a seismometer to record.

Ideal for: Earthquake Early Warning, and structural health monitoring

DUAL SENSORS

Image

Dual sensors combine an accelerometer and a seismometer into a single unit to simultaneously monitor weak or distant events, as well as near-field, high intensity shaking.

Ideal for: Earthquake Early Warning, Structural Health Monitoring and volcano observatories

DEPLOYMENT SYSTEMS

Image

For remote projects these systems provide robust, rugged solutions to simplify the station installation process. They incorporate communications and power systems for autonomous operation.

Ideal for: Field deployments
