Who is Nanometrics
Why we do what we do
How we got started
We started off as purely a seismic instrumentation company. Our founder, Robin Hayman, previously spent 15 years at the Geological Survey of Canada where he saw the benefits of digitizing seismic data. In 1986 he founded Nanometrics, and developed the RD-3 digitizer, the first of many revolutionary products that we’re proud to have designed and built.
Over the years we’ve evolved into the full-service, integrated solutions provider we are today, offering turnkey seismic networks, industry-leading precision instrumentation, complete data processing and analysis services, and software applications. Our innovative technology is used in mission-critical seismic arrays and tsunami warning systems in over 90 countries across the globe.
WHAT IS COMING
We specialize in network design and installation, network monitoring, real-time data acquisition and processing via our cloud-based, 24/7 data center, and induced seismicity monitoring and frac monitoring for the energy sector. Our complete and scalable solutions and our outstanding expertise have made us one of the largest seismic monitoring network operators in the world.
And as we head into our fourth decade, we continue to work closely with our customers to develop the next generation of complete solutions to help them overcome the challenges and realities of seismic monitoring in today’s world.
