About Us
MAPPEM Geophysics is an innovative French company expert in marine electromagnetic investigations. We develop state-of-the-art marine electromagnetic methods and instruments, and carry out electromagnetic investigation surveys for nearshore and offshore projects. We help our clients to improve their knowledge on the subseabed characteristics and possible hazards for offshore projects.
From our office based in the vicinity of Brest (French Brittany), we are developing our innovative electromagnetic instruments since 2015 and provide new insights in the marine subsurface to study complex geologies or detect buried objects. Our strong R&D team is always on deck to solve new challenges with electromagnetic solutions
SERVICES
We offer our innovative electromagnetic techniques in the marine environment to :
- Image the electrical resistivity of the subseabed.
- Locate and identify ferrous and non-ferrous buried objects (UXO, debris...).
- Precisely measure environmental or anthropogenic electromagnetic fields.
- Develop new R&D projects in various fields such as defense, environment, deep sea exploration...
SECTORS
Our services are used in many sectors, such as:
- Marine Renewable Energies
- UXO detection
- Dredging
- Defense
- The follow-up and maintenance of cables and pipelines
- Site investigations for port and coastal developments
- Geothermal energy
- Oil & Gas
- Science and research
- Deep Sea exploration
OUR VISION
MAPPEM Geophysics is an independent, innovative company, developing its unique expertise and putting it at the service of various offshore industrial projects. We help our clients by providing new insights through the high quality electromagnetic and resistivity data we provide.
Our human-sized company carefully considers customer needs and provides them with the best suited solutions to their problematics. We are characterized by an innovative mind, our passion about the sea, the habit of thinking outside the box.
OUR TECHNOLOGIES
MAPPEM SYSTEM
The MAPPEM system is designed for geophysical towed resistivity imaging of the subsurface as well as for buried object detection.
MAPPEM-3D SYSTEM
The MAPPEM-3D system is dedicated to detect all buried objects with a 5 m swath. Particularly adapted for non-ferrous objects (LMB mines).
MAPPEM-S SYSTEM
The MAPPEM-S system is similar to the classical MAPPEM resistivity system for very shallow waters (0-10 m water depth).
PASSEM SYSTEM
The PASSEM system is a towed tool dedicated to the measurements of the ambient electromagnetic fields in the water column.
STATEM SYSTEM
The STATEM seafloor stations are coastal autonomous marine magnetotelluric station, also used for electromagnetic fields assessment.
