Ground Penetrating Radar for Safe and Precise Subsurface Insights
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) systems offer a reliable, non-invasive method for detecting subsurface anomalies, materials, and voids. This page outlines how GPR technologies work, their key features, and how they apply across various industries. The content focuses on the advantages of integrating GPR into modern inspection and construction workflows—helping businesses enhance safety, ensure compliance, and reduce risk. With increased demand for precise geophysical and structural data, GPR is a go-to solution for engineers, surveyors, and inspectors.

Case Studies
Utility Mapping in Florida
A major Florida infrastructure contractor used our GPR systems to locate and map underground utilities across a proposed 20-acre development site. The equipment helped reduce costly utility strikes and fast-tracked permitting.
Bridge Deck Assessment in Illinois
Our client used GPR to assess bridge deck conditions for the Illinois Department of Transportation. The non-destructive solution identified delaminated areas without requiring lane closures or surface coring.
Concrete Slab Scanning in Toronto
A commercial real estate developer in downtown Toronto deployed our GPR units to identify embedded steel and post-tension cables in high-rise floor slabs before coring. This prevented accidental damage and project delays.
