Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) Surveys
Advanced Ground Penetrating Radar for Accurate Subsurface Investigation
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) provides a non-intrusive way to investigate what lies beneath the surface. Our GPR surveying services use advanced radar technology to identify buried structures, utilities, voids, ducts, chambers, foundations, and other subsurface features.
By providing detailed information without unnecessary excavation, GPR surveys help engineers, contractors, developers, and property owners make safer and more informed decisions.
What Can GPR Detect?
GPR technology can be used to investigate a wide range of underground and concealed features, including:
- Non-metallic utilities
- Plastic pipes
- Concrete and drainage structures
- Underground ducts
- Voids and anomalies
- Chambers
- Foundations
- Slabs and buried structures
- Unknown subsurface features
- Embedded objects and services
GPR can be particularly useful where conventional electromagnetic detection methods may not provide sufficient information.
High-Resolution Subsurface Scanning
Our GPR surveys provide detailed subsurface information across targeted areas, helping identify changes and anomalies beneath the ground surface.
The non-destructive nature of GPR makes it suitable for a wide range of environments where excavation or intrusive investigation may be undesirable or impractical.
GPR for Utility Investigation
GPR can complement traditional utility detection techniques by helping identify services that may be difficult to detect using electromagnetic methods alone.
This can include non-metallic pipes, ducts and other buried infrastructure, providing additional information to support utility mapping and excavation planning.
GPR for Construction & Infrastructure
GPR surveys can support projects at different stages, from initial site investigation and design through to construction and asset management.
Typical applications include:
- Pre-construction site investigation
- Utility investigation
- Infrastructure projects
- Road and pavement surveys
- Building and structural investigation
- Concrete and slab investigation
- Void detection
- Duct and chamber investigation
- Archaeological and subsurface investigation
- Unknown feature identification
Non-Intrusive Investigation
One of the key benefits of GPR is that it allows areas to be investigated without immediately resorting to excavation.
This can help project teams understand subsurface conditions while minimising disruption to existing surfaces and infrastructure.
Combining GPR With Utility Detection
For complex sites, GPR can be combined with electromagnetic utility detection and technical surveying techniques to create a more comprehensive picture of underground conditions.
This integrated approach can help improve confidence in survey findings and support safer excavation and construction planning.
Who Can Benefit From GPR Surveys?
Our GPR services can support:
- Civil engineering projects
- Construction companies
- Infrastructure contractors
- Property developers
- Engineers
- Surveyors
- Architects and consultants
- Local authorities
- Commercial property owners
- Industrial sites
Better Information Beneath the Surface
Understanding subsurface conditions before work begins can help reduce uncertainty, improve planning, and support safer project delivery.
Our Ground Penetrating Radar surveys provide valuable non-intrusive subsurface intelligence for construction, infrastructure, property development, and investigation projects.
