GPR Surveys
Ground penetrating radar surveys for subsurface investigation, shallow services, voids, road layers and buried structures.
The Problem We Solve
Many risks below ground cannot be confirmed from the surface. Buried services, voids, old structures, slab features and unknown obstructions can affect excavation, coring, construction and maintenance decisions.
HydroTrace Solution
Ground penetrating radar sends signals into the ground or structure and records reflections from subsurface features. HydroTrace uses GPR as a non-invasive investigation method to help detect anomalies and support decision-making.
Our Step-By-Step Process
- Define the survey area and objective.
- Select a suitable scan pattern for the site.
- Collect GPR data across the target area.
- Interpret anomalies and likely subsurface features.
- Provide findings, markings or reporting support.
Why This Matters
- Non-invasive investigation
- Useful before excavation or coring
- Supports utility and void detection
- Helps reduce construction risk
- Can support engineering decisions
Best For
- Construction sites
- Road investigations
- Concrete and slab areas
- Utility surveys
- Void detection
- Subsurface anomaly investigation
GPR Surveys FAQs
Can GPR see everything underground?
No. GPR performance depends on soil conditions, depth, material and site noise. It is a powerful tool but not magic.
Does GPR replace utility locating?
It complements utility locating. Best results often come from combining methods.
Can you scan concrete with GPR?
Yes. GPR can support concrete scanning to identify embedded features such as rebar and conduits.
