Corona, CA 2 Wilbur Smith Associates Kansas City, MO Abstract Geophysical investigations are best utilized to plan borehole locations and/or correlate geology between borehole locations. A geophysical survey was conducted along a portion of the southbound retaining wall of Missouri Highway 152 in Kansas City, Missouri. The purpose of the geophysical survey was to map bedrock geology, structure, and engineering properties of the shallow (upper 50 ft) subsurface. Geophy
