FAQs

GPR Safe?

Although “ground penetrating radar” may sound hazardous, it is extremely safe. The GPR unit emits approximately 1% of the power of a cellular phone signal.

How does GPR Work?

GPR systems send a small energy pulse into a material via an antenna. The strength and time required for the return of any reflected signals is recorded by the GPR unit’s integrated computer. Subsurface variations, such as geological structure differences or man-made objects like pipes and wire, create reflections that are picked up by the system and stored on digital media.

Can I see non-metallic subsurface features?

GPR is extremely accurate when it comes to locating metallic and non-metallic objects. Any subsurface variations, metallic or non-metallic, will cause signals to bounce back. When this occurs, all detected items are revealed on the computer screen in real-time as the GPR equipment moves along. Based on the signal returned, it can be determined whether the feature in question is metallic or non-metallic.
