APPLICATIONS

Seismology and Geoscience

The broad field of seismology and geoscience requires a range of high-tech equipment that makes it possible to detect even the smallest earth movements in the first place. Permanent seismic monitoring makes it possible to localize potential hazards and establish effective long-term protection against the effects.

We offer a broad, specialized portfolio of products and services worldwide for this topic with its utmost social importance. Our service range includes support in the development of new seismometers, certified calibration and structural excitation for seismological research and equipping entire laboratories.
