Utility Mapping

GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) surveys are commonly used for utility mapping. The idea involves an electromagnetic pulse radar signal that is directed in to the ground. GPR survey tools can be extremely powerful and ideal for utility detection when ground conditions are favourable. With uniform, sandy soils they can locate utilities and map the necessary features without threat of damaging them.

Ground penetrating radar techniques could also be used in archaeology, geology and environmental industries and so are also ideal for tasks such as for example concrete inspection, bridge and road condition assessments.
