2D & 3D GPR Scanning
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a non-destructive method of scanning and profiling an area in order to ascertain the existence and location of underground utilities, buried valves, tanks, or other structures. It is especially useful for determining the presence and location of non-metallic lines which do not respond to electromagnetic locating methods.
Benefits of 2D Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)
- Cost-Effective: Offers a budget-friendly solution for targeted or smaller areas of investigation.
- Rapid Data Collection: Provides real-time results, making it suitable for quick decision-making in specific locations.
- User-Friendly: Simple operation and interpretation, suitable for operators with varying levels of experience.
- Effective for Focused Areas: Excels at identifying objects and anomalies within limited, predefined areas.
- High Resolution: Delivers detailed, high-resolution images of the subsurface in the selected investigation zones.
Benefits of 3D Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR):
- Comprehensive Area Coverage: Provides a complete three-dimensional representation of the entire surveyed area.
- Improved Depth Perception: Effective at identifying objects and anomalies at greater depths throughout the entire area.
- Enhanced Accuracy: Precisely locates and maps non-metallic objects within the entire scanned region.
- Reduced Ambiguity: Minimizes false positives and negatives, increasing the reliability of results.
- Advanced Software Tools: Includes sophisticated software for in-depth analysis, modeling, and visualization of the entire surveyed space.
- Better Planning and Design: Assists in planning construction or excavation projects with a holistic understanding of the subsurface environment.
- Environmental Applications: Valuable for mapping geological formations, detecting buried contamination, and monitoring subsurface changes across the entire area.
- Utility Mapping: Useful for mapping non-metallic pipes and cables, especially in complex urban environments.
