Underground Utilities Locating
in Vernon Hills, Illinois

Working in conjunction with a company who specializes in directional boring in a GPR survey was conducted at the Rivertree shopping plaza. Ground Penetrating Radar Systems (GPRS) was there to conduct the GPR survey to see if there were any possible underground utilities or underground pipes running through the area where the directional boring was to take place. The reason GPR surveys are used on areas like this is to locate any hazards that may be in the way of boring. It is easy for drillers to plan the best route when unknowns like utilities and other obstructions are mapped out.

GPRS of Chicago was able to conduct the scan and locate possible utilities that could have posed problems later. Any unground utilities, pipes or other obstructions were found; this information was then relayed to boring company

Utility locating is a common application for GPRS technicians.
