How GPR Services Can Help Detect and Avoid Underground Obstructions
One of the major challenges of planning construction projects is making sure the piece of land being developed is clear of any underground obstructions like utility lines, pipes, or old foundations. These hidden obstacles can cause delays, unexpected costs, or even a safety hazard. To eliminate these causes of concern, many contractors and engineers are using ground-penetrating radar services as a safe, efficient, and nondestructive means for detecting and mapping subsurface obstructions. What is Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) ? Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a geophysical method that relies on the method of the disparate dielectric constant of the materials being scanned. Reflection occurs when the radar waves come in contact with an object that has contrasting physical properties. As a result, GPR portrays an image to provide engineers with real-time construction information with underground feature locations. How GPR Services Help to Identify Underground Obstructions ...
