See what is beneath the surface before you dig.
GeoSurv now offers ground penetrating radar (GPR) scanning, a non-destructive way to locate buried utilities and investigate the ground.
Overview
What this service is and why it matters
Who it is for: Utility owners, contractors, engineers, developers and consultants who need to know what is underground before work starts.
Ground Penetrating Radar sends radar pulses into the ground and records the reflections to build a picture of what lies below, without excavation. It is widely used for locating buried utilities and for archaeological and subsurface investigations.
GeoSurv has added GPR scanning to its survey services, using LMX150 and RD1100 units. It complements the topographic and underground-infrastructure survey work GeoSurv already carries out.
Scope of services
What we do
Buried utility locating
Detecting pipes, cables and other buried services before excavation begins.
Subsurface investigation
Scanning the ground to reveal buried objects and changes beneath the surface.
Non-destructive scanning
Information gathered without trenching or breaking the ground.
Alongside survey work
Scan findings can be considered together with topographic and utility survey information.
Applications and benefits
How it helps your project
Avoid damaging services
Knowing where utilities run helps reduce the risk of striking them during excavation.
Plan with confidence
Understanding what lies below helps designers and contractors plan their works.
Investigate without digging
GPR scanning looks below the surface without disturbing it.
