Summary
Machine-generated summaryThe contractor acts as the client's quality control representative (Bird Dog) during the execution of the 2D pilot seismic survey Mönchengladbach 2026. The contractor accompanies the survey campaign on site, monitors compliance with the technical requirements and carries out quality control of the field work and measurement data. The survey covers two high-resolution 2D seismic profiles in the city of Mönchengladbach, with approximately 16 km of source lines and approximately 28 km of geophone lines. The measurements support a research drilling planned for 2028 and are intended to image potential geothermal reservoirs (Carboniferous and Devonian limestones) and geotectonic structures, especially the Viersener Sprung fault, to depths of around 2.5 km.
