Ground Penetrating Radar
To complement the use of electromagnetic equipment, Ecotech Utility Locating Services incorporates Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) equipment. GPR is instrumental in detecting the presence and location of non-metallic utilities and structures buried underground. The process involves transmitting radio waves into the ground, which are then reflected back to the GPR sensor. The velocity at which the waves return varies depending on the conductivity of the object from which they are reflected. Through real-time analysis of the reflected radio waves by the digital control unit, the GPR technician is provided with a visual representation of the underground contents.
GPR possesses the capability to detect both metallic and non-metallic pipes, cables, and various objects such as tanks, manholes, and vaults. To ensure comprehensive results, Ecotech Utility Locating Services conducts grid-pattern scans within the project boundaries using GPR. This approach confirms the locations of electromagnetic targets while also identifying non-metallic and other targets that may have been undetectable using electromagnetic technologies alone.
