Geological Map

What is Geological Map?

Geological mapping is the process of studying and recording the types of rocks, faults, and landforms found on the Earth’s surface. These maps help show the structure and history of an area’s geology.

In Malaysia, geological maps are important for construction, mining, slope assessment, and land development. They help engineers and planners understand the ground conditions before starting a project.

At Geotechnica, we offer professional geological mapping services using field surveys, remote sensing, and GIS. Our maps support safer designs, better decisions, and long-term planning for various industries.

FAQ

Geological Map FAQ

What is geological mapping?

Geological mapping is the process of recording rock types, structures, and formations on the Earth’s surface to create a geological map for planning and analysis.

Why is geological mapping important in Malaysia?

Geological maps help in understanding local rock types, fault zones, and terrain stability—especially for construction, mining, and land-use planning in Malaysia.

What types of geological mapping does Geotechnica offer?

We offer detailed mapping, structural mapping, stratigraphic mapping, preliminary surveys, terrain classification, and mineral exploration mapping.

Where is geological mapping used?

It is used in construction site planning, slope stability analysis, mineral resource exploration, infrastructure design, and academic research.

What is the difference between detailed and preliminary mapping?

Preliminary mapping gives a broad overview of the geology, while detailed mapping provides in-depth information on rock types, faults, and formations at a finer scale.

How is stratigraphic mapping different from structural mapping?

Stratigraphic mapping focuses on the layers and age of rocks, while structural mapping highlights faults, folds, and stress-related features in the rocks.

Can geological mapping detect landslide-prone areas?

Yes. Terrain and structural data from geological mapping are used to identify slopes at risk of landslides, especially in hilly and high-rainfall areas.

How does geological mapping support mineral exploration?

It helps identify rock units, alteration zones, and geological structures that may host mineral deposits, guiding exploration drilling and sampling.

What tools are used in geological mapping?

Common tools include GPS devices, geological compasses, topographic maps, field notebooks, GIS software, and sometimes drones for terrain analysis.

Why choose Geotechnica for geological mapping services?

Geotechnica offers professional geological mapping in Malaysia with accurate fieldwork, GIS integration, and terrain-based recommendations for engineering, mining, and environmental projects.
