Electrical Resistivity Investigation for Subsurface Exploration along the Right of Way of the Sewage Flow Conveyance System in Alexandria, Egypt

El-Sayeda Abou Shagar, Yakout Al-Abd

Abstract

By using the electrical resistivity Wenner configuration, 22 sounding points were used to study the shallow subsurface geology along a proposed pass for construction of a flow convergence system in a part of Alexandria, Egypt. The study indicated that no abnormal hidden subsurface objects are present to prevent completion of the project. Lateral inhomogeneities are detected by differences in resistivity values. Some saturated limestone layers also are detected. The associated water may hinder the drilling activities. The geophysical data correlate with the results obtained from nearby boreholes.
