Reliable results thanks to high-resolution images

The CoreScan scans drill cores in their core boxes in a planar orientation. In addition, individual drill cores can be scanned in 360° mode. The data is then imported into the CoreBase software.

The integrated database enables the clear documentation, archiving and presentation of relevant data, which can be supplemented, where appropriate, with stratigraphic, lithological, petrographic and structural findings. This saves time and resources in complex projects relating to final disposal or exploration – as well as in projects concerning geothermal energy, groundwater protection or hazard prevention.

An overview of the benefits of the CoreScan system:

  • An easy-to-deploy, user-friendly system
  • High-tech core logging
  • High-resolution imaging of the drill core (up to 10¹⁶ dpi or 40 pixels per millimetre)
  • 360° imaging of the drill core possible
  • Quantitative fracture analysis
  • Information is digitally organised using specialised software and archived for future reference
  • The data is permanently accessible and available online.
  • An additional function for imaging under UV light is available. Find out more
  • The system can be purchased as a complete package, including product training.
  • Alternatively, our experts can carry out the work on site.

Additional LED Lighting

The additional LED lighting is used when the drill core is scanned under wet conditions. Scanning the wet drill core improves the colour saturation of the images and reveals more petrographic and structural details.

Another application of the additional LED lighting is when larger crystal surfaces appear along the core. The use of the additional LED lighting minimises potential reflections that may occur along the wet core or on crystal surfaces.
