Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is a non-invasive geophysical method used to detect and map subsurface structures, including pipes, cables, and other utilities. By emitting high-frequency electromagnetic waves into the ground, the GPR system is capable of identifying changes in material properties, such as the presence of buried pipes, based on the reflected signals.
Patriot Scanning uses ground penetrating radar for our underground utility locating, concrete scanning, underground storage tank (UST) locating, gravesite detection, soil boring clearance, and void detection services. Our findings provide important information of the area before you break ground or start excavating. Digging without Patriot Scanning exposes your workforce to hazards, project delays, and more.
GPR can locate underground utilities such as pipes, conduits, and cables as well as pinpoint the presence and positioning of rebar (reinforcement bars) and post-tension cables within concrete. Patriot Scanning’s technicians are knowledgeable and experienced with using GPR technology and equipment and our work aids in pre-construction planning and excavation safety.
Our method of ground penetrating radar is safe for use in public spaces, private residences and a wide variety of project sites. Using the data collected, Patriot Scanning can generate precise maps that show the location and depth of the pipes. This will allow you to accurately identify the pipes’ position without the need for invasive digging or disruption to the ground. In addition to Patriot Scanning’s timeliness and availability, ground penetrating radar’s real-time subsurface insights provide our clients with quick and reliable findings.
