A Practical Soil Resistivity Electrical Earthing Investigation: Ile-Ife, Nigeria

Author(s):

Apena WO, Ale TO, Oyetunji SA and Ihiabe YA

Electrical earthing design surge protection relies on accurate determination of soil resistivity down the vertical soil profile. The study investigated soil resistivity of a rocky region in Ile-Ife, Nigeria, were wenner method claimed to be failed. Pole-pole and Schlumberger electrode configurations method were deployed and electrical resistivity (ER) methods involving both horizontal profiling (HP) and Vertical Electrical Resistivity (VES) using an intelligent machine – ABM 300 C. Measurements were made along seven traverses to revealed soil resistivity variation in the region. Forty-eight VES stations were occupied along the traverse using the Schlumberger array with electrodes spacing of (AB/2) varying from 1 to 60 m. The vertical electrical soundin... view more»
