Airborne Gravity Services
Airborne Gravity Services in two areas in the north of Western Australia:
-
The Tanami–King Leopold project area of about 110 000 km² extends approximately from the Billiluna region near the border with the Northern Territory to Derby in the west.
-
The Kidson project area of about 155 000 km² covers parts of the Gibson and Great Sandy Deserts.
The objectives of both projects are the collection of gravity data at 5 km or shorter wavelength resolution to help characterise key regional geological elements of the regions. To this end, GA requires, for each region, a Supplier to conduct airborne gravity operations to obtain the fundamental data.
In delivering the Services, the Supplier(s) will provide all equipment and personnel necessary to conduct the geophysical surveys.
Respondents must have, or be eligible for, approval from CASA to operate low-level survey aircraft in Australia. Aircraft pilots must have current and up-to-date pilots licences, aircraft maintenance must be undertaken by licenced aircraft engineers.
Services are expected to start late February and are expected to be completed 18 weeks after the first successful survey flight.
