Horizontal probing method for probing suspect soil, i.e. soil possibly containing suspect objects

摘要

The invention relates to a horizontal probing method for probing suspect soil (1), Le. soil possibly containing suspect objects (2), comprising the steps of: - identifying a suspect soil portion (3) where suspect objects, such as conventional explosives (4), could be present, such as a suspect soil portion below a railway track (5), - providing an insertion area (6) and a reception area (7) on horizontally opposite sides (8) of the suspect soil portion, - using a pushing device (9) to horizontally push a probing rod (10) into the suspect soil portion from the insertion area towards the reception area, wherein a displacement head (11) is provided at the front of the probing rod, such that during pushing soil is displaced in a direction perpendicular to a length direction (X) of the probing rod by the displacement head, and - detecting suspect objects by detection means (12) comprised by the probing rod while the probing rod is pushed further towards the reception area.
