Geothermal Investigations

One fine day in the spring of 2015, I woke up to the impression that the house was slightly vibrating in a deep base, rather booming sound coming from the ground. As I looked outside, I hardly could believe my eyes: a huge special vehicle was moving slowly forwards down our street, making some intermittent pauses, exactly where the vibrations set in. And then I heard it on the news: the local municipal utilities were performing geothermal investigations in our area! And a few years later, there was indeed a geothermal power plant established next to a nearby town – so that's why I came up with the idea to portray this quite impressive memory in the context of this challenge, as geothermal investigations literally affect every single branch of STEM.

The build consists of:
  • Seismic vibrator aka vibro truck with working steering and adjustable vibrator plate
  • Escort vehicle with measuring devices and utensils
  • Landscape with thermal spring and mounted geophones
  • Five minifigures

Parts: 999
