Locate Underground Utilities at Nike Facility
in St. Charles, Missouri

In late December 2011 GPRS, Inc. responded to a call at the Nike facility in St. Charles, Missouri. Nike is planning to seismically reinforce their facility. This means anchoring large pylons to bedrock and the building. Prior to digging Mike Ziems performed a utility scan.

Solid orange line is a proposed cut.

The findings of the ground penetrating radar survey were as surprising as they were useful to Nike. GPRS located many unknown underground lines ranging from buried gas lines to the main power supply of the plant. Due to the findings several pylons were relocated, saving Nike time and money avoiding down time and costly repairs.
