How accurate is utility locating?
Our equipment provides highly accurate results, helping pinpoint the location and depth of underground utilities to minimize risk during excavation.
What is ground penetrating radar (GPR)?
GPR is a non-invasive technology that uses radar pulses to detect objects and changes beneath the surface. It is commonly used to locate utilities, voids, and structural elements in concrete or soil.
When should GPR be used?
GPR is ideal when traditional locating methods are not sufficient, such as locating unknown utilities, scanning concrete slabs, or identifying underground anomalies.
