GROUND PENETRATING RADAR.
GPR utility locating in Georgia
Use ground penetrating radar (GPR) to investigate buried utilities on private property. Radar scans help identify subsurface indications and potential utility routes so crews can plan targeted exposure and the next stage of work.
Where this service fits
Ground penetrating radar sends radar signals into the ground and records reflections from below the surface. Those indications help an operator investigate possible buried utility routes within a defined area. GPR is useful as part of private utility locating and excavation planning, with the results guiding further investigation rather than replacing confirmation where the project needs it.
- Ground penetrating radar for private utility locates
- Investigation of potential buried utility routes
- Support for targeted daylighting & potholing
Jobsite planning & safety
Tell us the site location, area to investigate, surface conditions and known utility information. Describe depth expectations, obstructions and access limitations. Soil and buried-material properties influence the usefulness of a scan. We discuss those limits, site coordination and any need for direct confirmation as part of planning the work.
GPR results depend on soil, depth, utility materials and site conditions. Findings guide further investigation; exposure may be needed to confirm a utility.
Before you book
What is the difference between GPR and private utility locating?
Private utility locating describes the investigation of underground utilities on private property. GPR is a radar method that can support that investigation. The locating scope and the site conditions determine how it can be used for a particular job.
When might a utility need to be exposed after a scan?
A project may need direct confirmation of a utility’s position or conditions before excavation or repair. Targeted hydro excavation and potholing can provide that access. Discuss the level of confirmation needed when planning the locating work.
