Why Choose GPR for Utility Locating?

Ground Penetrating Radar provides a cost-effective approach for scanning large areas. This innovative technology employs radar pulses to create detailed images of the earth’s subsurface. Its versatility allows it to be used across various media, including rock, soil, ice, fresh water, pavements, and structures.


  • Nondestructive Capability: GPR stands out as a superior choice for underground utility locating due to its nondestructive nature. Unlike more invasive methods, GPR can identify utilities without causing damage to the environment.
  • Advanced Technology: Utilizing electromagnetic radiation in the microwave band (UHF/VHF frequencies), GPR detects reflected signals from subsurface structures with precision. This advanced technology ensures accurate readings, making it highly effective for identifying buried utilities.
  • Broad Applications: Beyond utility locating, GPR is also used in fields like forensics, demonstrating its reliability in critical applications. This adaptability across various sectors further underscores its effectiveness.

With its unique combination of cost-effectiveness, advanced technology, and versatility, Ground Penetrating Radar remains a top choice for those seeking efficient and reliable underground utility locating solutions.
