GPR Project, Miami, FL

When Hydrologic Associates USA, Inc. in Miami, FL needed to survey a former gas station to locate any underground storage tanks (UST’s) that may still be onsite, they contact Ground Penetrating Radar Systems, Inc. The goal of the survey was to determine if the UST was still on site. Based on records and site planning Hydrologic believed the tank had been removed, however, they needed to be sure. GPR is a great technology for determining underground storage tank presence.

Once on site, GPRS was able to survey the area and determined that the tank had indeed been removed. However, they were able to locate the original vent piping and conduit still in the ground. This survey was extremely helpful for the Hydrologic. Not only were they able to determine that the tank was removed but they now know what utilities are still present in the ground. The survey was a success and Hydrologic intends to use GPRS in the future.
