- 3-dimensional detection of the magnetic field
- Detection of sheet piling, ground anchors and Unexploded ordnance (UXO)
Icone Magneto Module detects objects in the soil containing magnetisable metal, e.g. unexploded ordnance (UXO), ground anchors, piping, the tip of sheet piles and foundation piles by interpreting anomalies of the earth’s magnetic field.
The Magneto Module is equipped with its own inclinometer in X- and Y-direction, to allow for accurate positioning.
Anomalies can be detected at a distance up to 2 m depending on the size of the object. To accurately respond to changes in the measured value, in particular when detecting UXO’s, the gradients of the orthogonal measured anomalies are also determined. Alarm values can be set to stop pushing when one of these gradients is exceeded.
| Magnetometer | Inclinometer |
| measuring range -100/+100μ | measuring range -25° / +25° |
| accurancy 0.02μ | accuracy 1° (FRO) |
When required, Icones and CPT rods are available in non-magnetisable Nitronic metal.
The standard CPT-parameters can also be measured if an Icone is mounted in front of the Magneto Module.
