Underground Imaging Performed in Chicago, Illinois

Working in conjunction with an environmental firm a GPR survey was conducted at an elementary school. Ground Penetrating Radar Systems (GPRS) was there to conduct the GPR survey to see if there were any possible unground storage tanks or old foundations that may get in the way of new construction. The reason GPR surveys are used on areas like this is to locate any hazards that may slow down or halt construction altogether. It is easy to plan new construction when unknowns like foundations, obstructions and underground tanks are mapped out.

GPRS of Chicago was able to conduct the scan and locate possible utilities that could have posed problems later. No old foundations or underground storage tanks were found; this information was then relayed to the environmental firm so they could proceed.

Underground storage tanks (UST’s) locating is a common application for GPRS technicians.
