Ground Penetrating Radar
Service (GPR)
High Tech Locating provides
Ground Penetrating Radar Services (GPR) which is
one of the most powerful tools for locating
underground utilities.
 Advantages of GPR
GPR offers the means to detect buried objects
that are not detectable by other methods.
GPR Technology allows to non-invasively map
subsurface objects; find metallic and
nonmetallic objects; define variations in soil &
rocks; and under good conditions define
subsurface disturbances up to 30 feet.
GPR uses radar pulses to locate and image the
sub-surfaces.
What Can Be Found with a GPR?
Almost anything! Any object that has different
electrical properties other than dirt can be
detected. It does not matter if the material is
conductive or not. High Tech Locating uses this
powerful tool for locating underground
infrastructures not locatable by EM.
 GPR Applications
Construction and
Damage Prevention
-
Locate metallic and
nonmetallic underground facilities with
no a-priori information (Blind search)
-
Define areas of
previous trenching
-
Plan Directional
Boring with confidence
-
Find Subsurface
obstacles such as rocks
-
Define utility’s
depth
