WHY IS GPR IMPORTANT?

the key advantage of a GPR survey is that it allows buried services to be mapped accurately without the need for any excavation.

GPR is an efficient method of locating non-metallic and plastic pipes such as gas or water mains, along with locating shallow voids.

With out a comprehensive utility survey you will find a threat of accidentally striking a buried service, which is often both extremely dangerous and bring about significant costs.

Having a complete knowledge of services located within your site reduces the chance of encountering unforeseen or complicated issues during the design and build stages.


OUR APPROACH

SOME CONSIDERATIONS
With all sorts of utility survey equipment there are a few limitations to GPR plus some considerations when requesting a computer program survey of one's site.

It is recommended that we have a topographical survey drawing so that service covers can be located and lifted & most importantly to present the utility survey results effectively.

Services could be traced to a depth of around 2 to 3 3 metres.

Ground conditions might have an effect on survey results - the site area needs to be free from vegetation or other obstructions.

Go to the website  with a diameter of significantly less than 38mm will not be detectable.

It can be essential to implement traffic management where in fact the survey area includes the highway.
