Understanding the Modern Ground Penetrating Radar System
Sometimes the underground infrastructure is complicated, and it can be pretty hard to locate hidden utilities or structures using traditional methods. A ground penetrating radar system can provide just that, giving all the engineers and contractors a sneak peek at the work underground with no excavation required. How GPR Imaging Works Ground penetrating radar imaging is all about sending radio waves forward into the ground and observing the echoes that return and bounce back from actual subsurface objects. Different materials, voids, and buried structures that can interfere with radio waves can be detected to produce solid maps of the underground environment. This method of imaging finds application in construction sites, archaeological digs, and utility environment management. Scanning and Subsurface Detection Ground penetrating radar scanning is the systematic movement of radar equipment across a site so that every part of the site has radar coverage. Radar equipment settings are adj...
