Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) makes utility locating much easier by providing non-invasive, real-time imaging of subsurface structures. Unlike traditional electromagnetic locators, which only detect metallic utilities, GPR can locate both metallic and non-metallic utilities, including plastic pipes, fiber optic cables (with tracer wires), and underground storage tanks.
1. Non-Destructive Detection
GPR allows you to locate underground utilities without digging, saving time and reducing damage risks.
2. Multi-Material Detection
Unlike electromagnetic locators, which primarily detect metallic utilities, GPR can identify non-metallic objects like plastic pipes, concrete structures, and fiber optic cables.
3. High Accuracy & Depth Measurement
Modern GPR systems provide precise depth estimation, helping you avoid costly excavation errors.
4. Fast & Efficient Scanning
GPR provides real-time results, allowing for quick decision-making and reducing the need for additional site visits.
5. Works in Complex Environments
GPR is effective in congested urban areas, construction sites, and even rough terrains where traditional locating tools struggle.
