Abstract

The method is form assuring the shape of underground chambers filled with liquid. It involves sending down into the chamber through a bore-hole, an echo-sounder suspended on a cable and connected to a recorder placed on the surface of the ground. One of a number of ultrasonic converters and an emitting transmitter are simultaneously switched on so that ultrasonic echoes may be recorded by the recording device. The position of the floor of the chamber is determined using echoes provided by a vertical sounder which is calibrated. The distance between measurement levels and the measurement of horizontal sections and vertical profiles are effected using echoes provided by a horizontal sounder. The interpretation of measurement data is achieved by analysing the images obtained taking account of the geometric conditions of propagation and by comparisons with mathematical models and with data obtained from tests on scale models.
