"Safety is paramount in the oil and gas industry. Yet, despite advances in technology and safety protocols, accidents involving gas lines during drilling, excavation, and construction continue to occur. These incidents often result from a need for more detailed subsurface information, a challenge that project managers, engineers, and safety personnel are constantly working to address, leading to unintended contact with gas lines."

About us
Cordillera Geo-Services offers a wide range of geological and geophysical consulting and contracting professional services. We serve several markets including mining, energy, environmental, natural resources, engineering, and archaeology and cultural heritage (landscapes and built). The meaning of C O R D I L L E R A In the earth sciences, “cordillera” denotes a long, wide, and continuous system of more or less parallel mountain ranges, particularly the main mountain range at or near the coasts or borders of a large landmass. The origin and etymology of “cordillera” is a borrowing from Spanish. It is derived from an old Spanish word “cordilla”, a diminutive of “cuerda”, or “string, rope, cord”. The first known use of the word dates back to 1704. It is used in physical geography to denote extensive mountain chains (The Encyclopedia Americana Corporation, 1918; British Dictionary, 2012; Meriam-Webster Dictionary, 2018; The American heritage science dictionary, 2018; Wikipedia, 2018). The name was coined by the Spaniards to the mountains of the Andes in South America and was later extended to their northern continuation through Central America and Mexico, and finally to the entire mountain systems stretching up the western coast of the United States, British Columbia and Alaska, and spreading eastward to include the Rocky Mountains (The Encyclopedia Americana Corporation, 1918). Mountain ranges of this nature have a complex geologic structure and fascinating geologic history as the result of tectonic activity and volcanism. Some cordilleras have volcanoes and narrow ridges. Between the mountains, there are rivers, canyons, inhabited valleys, basins, and low plateaus with a wide range of elevations. Cordilleras occur worldwide.

Utility strikes can severely affect infrastructure projects, causing service disruptions, safety hazards, and costly repairs. According to the Common Ground Alliance, utility strikes cost the U.S. economy approximately $30 billion annually. Accurate utility locating helps contractors and excavators avoid damaging existing infrastructure, minimizing project delays and cost overruns. Geophysics is a cost-effective, non-invasive way to locate utilities. Read our most recent guide on using geophysics to locate underground lines.
5 Simple steps to locating utilities with geophysical methods

When doing a geophysical exploration, there are times when the terrain does not help. The topography is hostile, uneven, and risky. Other times, there are puddles of water that complicate the array of the geophysical equipment. Sometimes, the heat is so intense that one must be prepared with the appropriate equipment and clothing. The same is true when temperatures drop to freezing levels. However, on this occasion, the obstacle to overcome was mosquitoes. Regardless of the challenge, our team is always prepared to conduct the geophysical study you require, demonstrating our unwavering commitment to your project. Below is the evidence of our gear against the most hostile conditions, even when these have wings. #geophysics #mosquitoes #fieldwork #cordillerageo

How does geophysics help you manage your ranch or farm better? We're glad you ask. Many geophysical exploration methods reveal the soil's properties, helping you improve irrigation methods or pasture types. By identifying these properties through geophysics, you can plan better and make sound decisions that yield better results. That translates to a good ROI. We can help you with the Geophysics part. Check out our guide below to learn more about geophysical methods used in ranching and farming. https://lnkd.in/gm2ipzk3 #geophysics #ranching #farming

At Cordillera Geo-Services, we know that your project will involve numerous phases. Each one follows a plan and strict dates on a calendar so that progress is not delayed. But we also know that things happen and that, for the same reason, there will be unexpected obstacles along the way. Making the necessary adjustments and resolving at the moment is crucial to ensure your project gets well-spent. No one is exempt from unforeseen events, not even us. But we are prepared for such eventualities. Let us share an example. A few days ago, we were about to begin a geophysical exploration in a mining project using the electrical resistivity imaging method. To our surprise (because this rarely happens to us), our equipment failed on the scheduled day. Checking and repairing the equipment may take weeks. But delaying your project is not an option for us. Thanks to our strategic alliances with high-quality equipment manufacturers, we could request borrowed equipment while we had ours inspected. We swapped equipment the same day. We could explore without problems in a few days, and the mining project did not suffer severe delays. One of our most significant priorities is our commitment to the success and advancement of your project. For this reason, and thanks to our partnerships, you can be confident that we will do everything possible to deliver results on time. Here is a photo of our electrical resistivity equipment from our partner Advanced Geophysics Inc., who provided us with the loaner. If you work with us, you can forget about delays. Do you have an incoming project? Let’s talk. #geophysics #electricalresistivity #mining

Unfavorable geophysical site conditions can manifest as issues that can affect the structural integrity of your home or property. By harnessing the latest geophysical techniques, you can proactively assess your home’s vulnerability to natural disasters and structural issues without invasive, messy geotechnical drilling or guesswork. Geophysical methods are non-invasive and non-destructive; therefore, they act like X-ray vision technology that allows you to see through the soil layers without drilling, trenching, or digging. In this guide, we’ll reveal six essential geophysics-based tips every homeowner needs to know to safeguard their sanctuary. #homesafety #geophysics

You would think that the use of geophysics in mining is a given. But it is worth remembering why including it is essential to get the most out of mining projects. Geophysics is a critical element in the entire mine life cycle: exploration, regulations, financial analysis, engineering, feasibility studies, mine development, operation, closure and reclamation, and post-closure. Discover why dispensing with geophysics in mining is a mistake. #geophysics #mining #geoscience
Why most mining projects fail without geophysics – and how yours won’t
