Locating Underground Utilities at Georgia Pacific Wallboard Plant in Fort Dodge, Iowa

Ground Penetrating Radar Systems of Kansas City assisted the Iowa office in scanning several locations for underground utilities where Georgia Pacific’s plant was planning on installing new ground rods to update their facility’s grounding system. Two future trenching locations were also scanned for utilities. The technician marked any utilities found in the areas of interest.

GPR is a great tool to locate underground utilities before any excavation or boring is done. It can save time and money in costly repairs to utilities. Non-destructive testing is a great way for geologists to get there soil samples without risking boring into objects such as utility lines.
