Geophysical Survey Underway in Morges
The vibrating truck begins its measurements this week in Morges. The survey started this Monday evening on the western part of the communal territory, and will continue in the center and east later in the week. These activities are part of a subsoil prospecting campaign that began on March 3. The geophysical survey covers a 240 square kilometer area in West Lausanne and the Côte, including Morges.In recent weeks, geophones (sensors) have been placed throughout the area to be surveyed.

What is Vibroseis and How Does it Work?
Vibroseis is a seismic surveying technique that uses specialized trucks equipped with vibrating plates too send energy waves into the ground. These waves reflect off different subsurface layers, and the reflections are then recorded by geophones (sensors) placed on the surface.By analyzing the time it takes for these waves to return,geophysicists can create a detailed picture of the subsurface.
Why are Vibrating Trucks Surveying the Subsoil in Morges?
The vibrating truck in Morges is part of a larger subsoil prospecting campaign. These surveys help to understand underground geological structures, which can be useful for various purposes, including:
- Identifying potential groundwater resources
- Assessing the stability of the ground for construction projects
- Locating underground utilities
- Studying geological formations for research purposes
what Area Does the Geophysical Survey Cover?
The geophysical survey covers a 240 square kilometer area in West Lausanne and the Côte, including the municipality of Morges.
How Can I Track the Progress of the Vibrating Truck in Morges?
An interactive map is available online to track the progress of the vibrating trucks. you can find the map at: Interactive Map.
How Long Will the Subsoil Survey Take?
The entire subsoil prospecting effort is expected to last between 4 and 6 weeks.
What are Geophones and How Are They Used in These Surveys?
Geophones are sensors that are placed throughout the survey area. They detect the seismic waves reflected from the subsoil after the vibrating truck generates them. The data collected by these geophones is then used to create a detailed image of the subsurface.
How Does Vibroseis Technology Work in Detail?
Vibroseis technology works by:
- Generating a Controlled Signal: Vibroseis trucks use hydraulic systems to generate controlled vibrations.
- Sending Energy Waves: The vibrating plate on the truck transmits these energy waves into the earth. The frequency of vibration typically varies between 12 and 60 Hz.
- Recording Reflections: Geophones on the surface measure the “echos” or reflections of these waves from different subsurface layers.
- Creating a Subsurface Picture: The time of arrival of each wave at the geophones is used to create a picture of the subsurface.
