Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is the tool that will send radar pulses into the ground, then receive these pulses to create an image of the utilities that are below the surface. The main focus of a GPR is to locate all metallic and non-metallic utilities.

In our ever-changing infrastructure, the use of non- metallic utilities (fibre, PVC, PE, Poly) is becoming more prevalent. Therefore the need for a GPR is ever increasing. GPR are also able to accurately locate valves, hydrants and buried manholes.

This, along with our other available equipment and technologies will increase the accuracy of locating all that is below the surface.
