Benefits of GPRS Services for Healthcare Facilities
Accurate utility locating, concrete scanning, and reality capture data helps your team accelerate construction, renovations, and facility upgrades to expand capacity and integrate new medical technologies. This includes projects such as building new patient towers, upgrading operating rooms, and expanding emergency departments.
By identifying embedded utilities and load-bearing elements, GPRS helps prevent utility strikes and structural damage during excavation and installation.
Accurate CAD and BIM helps plan HVAC layouts, electrical runs, pipe routes, and equipment placement with confidence using field‑verified information. Streamlined design planning improves MEP coordination and helps prevent costly delays during critical build phases.
GPRS helps healthcare facilities navigate complex regulatory requirements by providing accurate utility locating, concrete scanning, and existing conditions data that support infection control risk assessments (ICRA), CMS, OSHA, EPA, Joint Commission standards, ADA compliance, and fire safety, helping reduce risk, avoid costly redesigns, and keep projects compliant from planning through construction.
GPRS deliverables serve as a long-term assets to support the entire lifecycle of a healthcare facility, from construction through decades of operation. SiteMap centralizes utility maps, CAD drawings, BIM models, and NASSCO reports in one GIS platform to improve safety, reduce costs, and help your team plan with confidence.

What Our Clients Say
Frequently Asked Questions
GPRS utilizes a rigorous set of processes and complementary technologies to locate and map underground utilities. The process we use is known as Subsurface Investigation Methodology (SIM) and it is the backbone of our 99.8% accuracy rate in utility locating. Our Project Managers utilize ground penetrating radar (GPR), electromagnetic (EM) locators, and a set of precise, standardized procedures to help you visualize your underground infrastructure. We mark-out various utilities on the surface with spray paint and/or flags, plus map the area utilizing Real-Time Kinematic Positioning, the most accurate satellite geospatial technology available. We deliver CAD, PDF, and .KMZ files, plus interactive digital utility maps, through SiteMap®, our GIS software platform and mobile app.
Using GPR technology, GPRS performs concrete scanning to identify the location of rebar, conduit, and post tension cables, assess thickness, and detect potential voids within concrete slabs so you can cut, core, and drill with confidence. GPRS marks findings and verified safe zones directly on the surface of the slab, and we can also build 2D CAD drawings and a 3D BIM model of the interior of your slab. We guarantee our Project Manager’s concrete scanning accuracy through the “Green Box Guarantee”, where any green boxed area placed on concrete is verified clear of obstructions.
GPRS delivers construction-grade accuracy using high-resolution LiDAR scanners and survey-grade controls and registration. Accuracy depends on site conditions and equipment, but typically achieves tolerances within 2 to 6 millimeters. We deliver point clouds, 2D CAD drawings, and 3D BIM models that give your project team a reliable single source of truth. The result is greater design accuracy, clearer coordination across disciplines, and fewer surprises in the field.
Every GPRS VPI report includes a WinCan interactive report.
- Each defect coded and graded to NASSCO PACP, MACP, or LACP standards
- Defect locations referenced to the nearest surface feature
- Full-length video of the pipe interior
- Photo documentation at each defect location
