A seismic survey will quickly start within the municipality of Martigny in Switzerland to map the subsurface and characterize the potential geothermal useful resource.
Native utility firm Sinergy will probably be conducting a seismic survey to judge the potential geothermal sources within the municipality of Martigny in Valais, Switzerland. The seismic survey will probably be happen on the evenings and nights from the twenty second to thirty first of July 2024 and will probably be carried out by Geo2X.
Data from the seismic survey will go in the direction of subsurface mapping of the geothermal useful resource in Martigny. The goal of the utility is to faucet right into a hydrothermal useful resource by drilling to a most depth of 1500 meters, the place an aquifer at temperatures of 45 to 60 °C is anticipated.
Related operations had been initiated by the canton of Valais in 1991 and 2014 with very optimistic outcomes. Â This new survey will make it potential to make measurements extra exact and create a 3D map of the subsurface at a depth of round 1,000 meters. Seismic surveys had lately been carried out to nice success in varied components of Switzerland together with Lausanne, Geneva, Magglingen, and Yverdon-les-Bains.
Sinergy is organizing a public info session on the twentieth of July 2024 for many who need to ask inquiries to the consultants, in addition to the representatives of Geo2x. The progress of the seismic survey could be checked on-line by way of the Sinergy web site.
