Wings Technology Enterprise Inc., in partnership with MoHo Science & Technology (or MoHo s.r.l.), formally introduced four highly transportable, precise, and economical geophysical devices for civil and structural engineering & geophysical applications during the “PASSIVE SEISMIC CONFERENCE”; an event they organized last November 21, 2019 at New World Hotel, Makati City.
The instruments that were introduced are as follows:
1. Stand-alone seismograph and soil-structure profiling instrument that captures ground & soil micro-tremors which also permits passive modal analyses, vibration monitoring, and surface wave seismic survey for feasibility study, TROMINO.
2. Multi-channel seismograph for seismic refraction and reflection, SOIL SPY.
3. Stand-alone earthquake recording instrument for permanent seismic and vibration monitoring, SURICAT2.0.
4. Geoelectric & resistivity meter for accurate & efficient surveying, ELECTRA.
The conference was conducted by geophysicist and MoHo S&T geophysical sales manager, Mr. Jeremy Magnon.
Wingstech's consultant, geologist Engr. Clement Fajardo, warmed up the floor as he opened the forum by expounding on the significance of using geophysical methods to determine the seismic properties of subsurface material and how it can affect various structures in an active seismic country such as the Philippines.
He also discussed how these MoHo s.r.l. geophysical instruments can be used in geotechnical and other fields in engineering.
