Subsurface uncertainty, resolved with geophysical rigour
Geomorph Imaging Solutions provides GPR and geophysical survey services, independent consulting, and specialist training — deployed across archaeology, infrastructure, construction, defence, and environmental projects. PhD-led, vendor-neutral, and active in more than 10 international markets.
We don’t just run equipment. We interpret what it finds, document what it can’t confirm, and produce results that hold up to scrutiny — on site and on paper.
What Geomorph Does
We operate across four interconnected practice areas — field survey, independent consulting, specialist training, and instruments. Each can be engaged independently, but they are designed to work together: the same geophysical rigour that informs our surveys underpins our consulting work, and the same field experience that grounds our consulting drives our training programmes.
GPR & Geophysical Survey Services
Field data collection and processed deliverables across GPR surveys, GPR for concrete, magnetometer surveys, and infrared thermography — deployed for archaeology, utilities, void detection, structural diagnostics, and more.
View Survey Services ◈Independent GPR Consulting
Vendor-neutral consulting across the full project lifecycle — survey design, independent data interpretation, multimethod integration, technical advisory, and expert review. We work where conventional approaches fall short.
View Consulting ◈GPR & Geophysical Training
Specialist training programmes for GPR operators, data processors, and project managers — including immersive VR-based GPR training modules developed in-house. Practical, methodology-first, and built on real field experience.
View Training ◈Instruments & Equipment
Independent guidance on GPR and geophysical instrument selection, specification, and procurement — without the bias of a manufacturer relationship. We recommend what the project needs, not what we have in stock.

From field deployment to ground-truth confirmation
The sequence below is what separates a rigorous GPR engagement from a routine data-collection exercise. We deploy, we process, we interpret — and where ground truth is available, our interpretations hold up. The following is from a real Geomorph project, not a manufacturer’s demonstration dataset.
GPS-tracked GPR cart deployed for a utility and subsurface mapping survey on a commercial site. Multi-frequency antenna selection matched to the target depth and ground conditions.
Processed amplitude time-slice revealing clear linear and circular subsurface anomalies — identified, mapped, and documented with confidence-level assessments before excavation.
Excavation confirming the buried structural features identified in the GPR interpretation. This is what it looks like when the interpretation is correct — not just plausible.
Where we work
Ground penetrating radar and geophysical survey methods apply across a broader range of project contexts than most clients initially realise. The six sectors below represent the primary areas where Geomorph has active project experience — each with its own evidence standards, decision consequences, and methodological requirements.
Archaeology & Cultural Heritage
Non-invasive subsurface mapping ahead of excavation, for research planning, heritage management, and development applications. GPR and magnetometer surveys at greenfield, urban, and built-structure contexts.
Infrastructure & Engineering
Utility detection and mapping, subsurface risk assessment ahead of construction, pavement and road condition surveys, and structural assessment of bridges and civil infrastructure.
Construction & Urban Development
Pre-construction void and instability detection, legacy structure identification in constrained urban plots, concrete scanning before cutting or coring, and building envelope diagnostics.
Defence & Security
Subsurface threat detection, UXO screening, forensic site investigation, and concealed object detection. Direct project experience with US Army, IDF, Hellenic Army, UAE Police, and Saudi Army.
Environmental & Geotechnical
Shallow subsurface characterisation, stratigraphic mapping, soil boundary identification, contamination site support, and sinkholes or ground instability risk assessment.
Research & Academia
Methodological support, survey design, and interpretation for academic research programmes and EU-funded projects — with contribution to peer-reviewed publication where appropriate.
Not just survey data. Geophysical expertise.
The GPR market is full of operators who can push a cart and hand over a file. Geomorph is built around the part that comes after the acquisition — the interpretation, the integration, the decision-support. That distinction is what the company was founded to provide, and it runs through every engagement we take on.
Dr. Michael Arvanitis — Founder & MD
- PhD-led interpretation Every project is interpreted at the same standard we apply to peer-reviewed scientific work — methodologically documented, explicit about uncertainty, and traceable from raw data to conclusion.
- Vendor-neutral across all services We have worked for three of the world’s major GPR manufacturers and are contracted to none of them. Method and instrument selection is driven entirely by your project requirements.
- 25+ years of field depth Archaeological sites, nuclear facilities, urban infrastructure, defence engagements, and commercial projects across more than 30 countries — the kind of contextual breadth that prevents misidentification.
- Research and field in one practice With 30+ peer-reviewed publications, two granted patents, and EU-funded research programme participation, the academic rigour behind our methods is publicly verifiable — not just claimed.
- Deliverables that hold up Our reports are written for two audiences simultaneously: the technical specialist who needs to scrutinise the methodology, and the decision-maker who needs a clear, actionable conclusion.
