Book excerpt: This Innovations Deserving Exploratory Analysis (IDEA) project demonstrated the application of a new mobile geophysical method based on electromagnetic induction technology to detect subsurface features and objects for highway-related projects. Two highway projects were identified in collaboration with Caltrans for evaluating the mobile geophysical technology. The first project was a road widening Donner Road Rehabilitation Project along highway I-80 (Nevada County). The IDEA work in this project investigated the geological composition of the soils beneath I-80. The second project was a bypass Cherry Avenue Project between Taft and Bakersfield (Western Kern County). The IDEA work determined soil texture density differences, identified plumes and selected geotechnical boring locations. The electromagnetic signatures were correlated with soil conditions and used to identify differences in geology, landform, and roadbed materials.
