Not all jobs are glamorous but they are still highly needed. This week we used Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) to assess risks hidden below houses and buildings.
Defects in the subsurface – voids, loose soils, sinkholes, water ingress, or hidden fractures – often remain invisible until they cause real damage. In earthquake-prone areas or regions with unstable ground, these weaknesses can dramatically increase risks for property and safety.
By using GPR, engineers and surveyors can:
✅ Detect anomalies beneath foundations without invasive digging
✅ Pinpoint weak zones before they turn into costly failures
✅ Adapt repair and reinforcement strategies to match real conditions
✅ Extend the lifespan and resilience of buildings against earthquakes, sinkholes, and other geohazards.
Instead of reacting to damage, we can anticipate it. With non-destructive, high-resolution imaging, GPR provides the data needed to make smarter, safer decisions for homeowners, builders, and communities.
