GPR gets better. Interpretation doesn’t.
Advancements in ground penetrating radar (GPR) hardware have dramatically increased the resolution and depth penetration capabilities available to geophysicists and survey professionals. Today’s state-of-the-art GPR systems produce cleaner, higher-definition images of the subsurface than ever before, instilling a sense of confidence among users. However, these technical improvements have not been matched by equivalent progress in Read more

GPR Scanning for Hidden Voids Inside Buildings
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 Read more

How Many Pipes Do You See? How Deep Are They? What Material Are They Made Of? These are some of the most common questions I’ve been asked throughout my years working with Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR). The answers, however, are not always simple or straightforward. GPR is an incredibly powerful tool, but it comes with Read more
