Applications: Where to Use GPR?

Buildings and other existing structures

• Use our utilities detection service to provide a comprehensive picture of existing sub-surface utilities on your job site or project.
• Work with GPRS to locate reinforcing steel, such as post-tension cables and/or rebar, within the concrete prior to core drilling for electrical outfitting, plumbing, duct work, fire protection services, and drain installation.
• GPRS will scan for electrical conduits embedded in or below slabs prior to saw cutting or core drilling, thereby minimizing the risk of electrocution to the operator and reducing the risk of building systems shutdowns.
  
  

Cemeteries

• GPRS will scan burial areas to help your staff locate unmarked graves as well as detect the exact location of caskets to make your digging more efficient.

Exploratory digs

• Prior to digging, make sure you call GPRS to help with utility-detection.  We use both radio detection and GPR to locate existing utility wires, cables, and lines as well as protect your worksite. 

Streets and urban planning

• GPRS will locate existing sub-surface utilities to ensure a safe and non-destructive work environment.
• Use GPR to detect potential problem areas, such as voids and air pockets, beneath asphalt and pavement.

Underground storage tank (UST) detection

• As you transfer property ownership or refinance an existing property, GPRS can locate storage tanks left underground.
• GPRS can even detect the prior location of an UST that has been removed by examining differences in the soil between the fill and the ground.
