WHAT IS A GPR SURVEY?
A Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) survey is a non-intrusive method used to detect and map underground features. It uses radar pulses to identify buried objects, structures, and changes in material beneath the surface. GPR is commonly used in construction, archaeology, and utility mapping to locate things like pipes, cables, and voids without the need for digging. 

WHAT ARE GPR SURVEYS USED FOR?

GPR surveys are used for a wide range of applications across different industries. Some common uses include:

  1. Utility Mapping: Locating underground utilities such as pipes, cables, and conduits before construction or excavation to avoid damage.

  2. Archaeology: Identifying and mapping buried structures, artefacts, and features without excavation.

  3. Construction and Engineering: Assessing subsurface conditions to detect voids, fractures, and changes in material for site planning and foundation work.

  4. Environmental Assessments: Detecting underground storage tanks, hazardous waste, and soil contamination to guide environmental clean-up efforts.

  5. Roads and Pavement Surveys: Evaluating the condition of roads, detecting voids or degradation beneath the surface.

  6. Cemetery Mapping: Locating unmarked graves and mapping burial sites.

  7. Forensics: Assisting in the search for buried evidence or remains in forensic investigations.

GPR is versatile and useful for any project that requires detailed information about what lies beneath the surface without excavation.
