Purchase of Vibro-Seismic Truck

Seis-Sustain has purchased the vibroseismic truck that will be deployed to Greenland.

This is a milestone for the project. We decided to purchase a pre-owned machine for several reasons:

  • The machine needs to fit into an LC-130 Hercules aircraft in order to be transported onto the Greenland Ice Sheet
  • The model should be optimal for data collection on ice
  • For sustainability reasons, we prefer to use existing materiel instead of ordering new, when it does not compromise the quality of data or the likelihood of reaching the project goals

Before sending the machine to the ice sheet in 2027, a thorough plan for renovations and maintenance of the machine will be made by our Seis-Sustain engineer in collaboration with a technician from our project partner AWI.
