ALPHA Borehole
ALPHA Borehole Seismometer
Product Overview
To round out the ALPHA family of seismometers we offer a slim-line borehole instrument designed for deployment in the deepest boreholes. The three ALPHA seismic sensors are stacked on top of each other to provide a three component seismometer. They are packaged in a robust, water proof stainless steel housing. The whole instrument is securely fixed inside the borehole casing by our unique, completely newly designed single jaw hole lock. In addition we offer the option to add three SIGMA accelerometer sensors to the package. That combination makes this instrument a cost effective multifunction seismic borehole observatory. Several of these six component borehole seismometers were recently deployed in Turkey.
