Ground Penetrating Radar Information
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a field survey method that creates an underground cross-sectional image of the subsurface. Ground penetrating radar is a fast, inexpensive technique that can locate buried objects, buried utilities, underground storage tanks (USTs), buried drums, and other subsurface features or objects. Ground penetrating radar surveys can be conducted on sites used for commercial or industrial businesses, residential developments, recreational facilities, or government installations.
Ground penetrating radar surveys can be conducted anywhere in the U.S. or the world. The GPR equipment is compact, easily transportable, and can fit on an airplane as baggage. Ground penetrating radar crews can be mobilized anywhere and at anytime, with little notice.
Ground penetrating radar has been used by major businesses, local, state and federal governmental agencies and private individuals to locate anything underground. GPR surveys have been conducted to locate items as small as buried pipes to locating large contaminant plumes.
Hand-towed GPR survey and Vehicle-towed GPR survey
The picture above shows a scientist pulling a 400 MHz antenna looking for buried utility lines. The other picture shows a large 200 MHz antenna looking for sinkholes. The low frequency antenna (200 MHz) can look deeper but the high frequency (400 MHz) antenna has higher resolution for locating shallow objects.

Ground penetrating radar data collection is now computerized, and the GPR profiles can be printed out in color.
The 200 MHz antenna is being vehicle towed in the picture above. The ground penetrating radar image (above right) shows a sinkhole that was detected by GPR with the 200 MHz antenna. Sinkhole location, depth, and size can be determined from this profile.
Concrete Inspection Surveys
Ground penetrating radar is used to scan concrete to locate rebar, pipes, tension bars, and plastic and fiber optic conduits. Our scanning can also detect voids within and under concrete slabs and within and behind concrete walls.
Our ground penetrating radar scanning can inspect airport runways, tunnels, abutments, dams, garages, roadways, and many other concrete floors and walls. Asphalt roads and surfaces can also be scanned.
The GPR image above shows rebar and pipes in concrete. The GPR profile was obtained using a 1500 MHz antenna.
