By Ground Penetrating Radar?

Ground-penetrating radar is a geophysical method that uses radar pulses to image the subsurface. It is a non-intrusive method of surveying the sub-surface to investigate underground utilities such as concrete, asphalt, metals, pipes, cables or masonry.

What is ground penetrating radar?

GPR uses energy waves in the microwave band, ranging in frequency from 1 to 1000 MHz. ... The transmitter sends electromagnetic energy into the soil and other material. Ground Penetrating Radar works by emitting a pulse into the ground and recording the echoes that result from subsurface objects.

How much does it cost for a ground penetrating radar?

Ground penetrating radar cost usually starts around $14,000 USD for a simple, single-frequency GPR system. The most affordable systems include a cart, tablet controller, battery, and basic Acquisition Software. This is everything needed to begin basic utility locating and other applications.
