About ASIR Seismic
ASIR designs and manufactures borehole seismic instruments for earthquake monitoring, induced seismicity, geothermal projects, mining, CO₂ storage and scientific research. The portfolio comprises posthole and borehole geophones (AF2, AG2, AF4.5, AG4.5, AF15), broadband and fullband borehole seismometers (ABB, ABBT, AFB4.5) as well as hybrid six-component systems and optical broadband accelerometers for deep boreholes and high-temperature environments. In addition to standard products, custom probes for extreme conditions are produced. The service offering covers the entire project cycle: consulting on instrumentation and network design, manufacturing, installation of sensors, cables and complete monitoring networks including borehole coordination and calibration, maintenance and repair, as well as data analysis with microseismic event detection and waveform analysis. The instruments are deployed worldwide, including at geothermal plants, CO₂ sequestration sites and waste disposal facilities.
