What It Covers
A Clearer View Before Work Proceeds.
GPR can help detect non-conductive services that cannot be located electronically, including stormwater pipes, PVC conduits, poly gas mains, water mains and unknown underground assets. Ground conditions, service depth and surrounding materials can affect the result.
The investigation method and level of verification depend on the asset, site conditions and the work being planned.

How It Supports The Work
Useful Information At The Right Stage.
The service can stand alone or connect with locating, exposure, verification and reporting where the site calls for more than one method.
Review unknown features
Investigate subsurface responses in the planned work area before deciding whether more verification is needed.
Plan the next method
Use the site findings to determine whether vacuum excavation or another verification step is required.
