Utility GPR Surveyors in the London and South Area. Surveys to locate underground services, utilities. PAS 128 quality levels and standards. GRP Surveys.

A Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) survey is a non-intrusive geophysical method used to detect and map subsurface structures. It works by transmitting high-frequency radio waves into the ground and recording the reflected signals from different underground materials. The radar waves bounce back when they encounter objects, voids, or changes in material density, like buried utilities, pipes, cables, or even archaeological artifacts.

Key Uses of a GPR Survey:

Utility Detection: Locates underground pipes, cables, and utilities without the need for excavation.
Structural Investigation: Assesses the condition of concrete, rebar, or voids in structures.
Archaeology: Identifies buried historical artifacts or foundations.
Environmental Studies: Detects underground storage tanks or contamination areas.
Cemetery Mapping: Locates unmarked graves or burial sites.

Advantages:

Non-destructive: It does not require digging or drilling.
Accurate: Provides detailed subsurface images in real-time.
Versatile: Works in various conditions, including soil, concrete, or asphalt.

However, the effectiveness of GPR can be influenced by factors like soil composition, moisture content, and the depth of the objects being surveyed.
