Surface Penetrating Radar locates almost anything underground and can accurately and nondestructively see through solid materials. Surface Penetrating Radar can see through asphalt and concrete to detect subsurface objects and determine the condition and thickness of the material examined. Surface Penetrating Radar uses a noninvasive electromagnetic geophysical technique which has the highest resolution of any geophysical method. Surface Penetrating Radar also uses scattering to image, locate and measure spot changes in the ground. Scattering results when an electromagnetic wave locates a change in electrical or magnetic subsurface material.
Surface Penetrating Radar is an excellent way to locate underground utilities, underground concrete and any number of other underground applications. Surface Penetrating Radar also enables the technician to locate piping, conduit and sewers to a depth of ten feet. When Surface Penetrating Radar is used on concrete it can reveal joint spacing, locations of reinforcements and full-depth asphalt patches.
Surface Penetrating Radar technology works in a fast and reliable manner. It is also very safe and uses no radiation. Surface Penetrating Radar is able to provide a 2-dimensional and 3-Dimensional image of the areas that are scanned.
Surface Penetrating Radar is available for shallow ground penetrating surveys or deep ground penetrating surveys. Shallow Surface Penetrating Radar would be used to locate pipes and utilities, and tanks and drums. Deep Surface Penetrating Radar would be used to determine bedrock depth and sinkhole locations.
Utilizing Surface Penetrating Radar takes a heavy burden off the shoulders of contractors, utility workers and anyone who needs to conduct subsurface work. By utilizing Surface Penetrating Radar, subsurface drilling is conducted with less worry of cutting or drilling into an embedded object.
