Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a non-invasive geophysical method used to detect and map subsurface features, such as buried utilities, underground storage tanks, and culverts. By emitting electromagnetic waves into the ground and analyzing the reflected signals, GPR provides real-time data on the location and depth of these structures.
Our GPR Services
At Matrix Environmental Technologies Inc. (METI), we utilize the advanced MALÅ Easy Locator Pro GPR unit, equipped with integrated GPS, to conduct precise geophysical surveys. Our GPR services are essential for minimizing risks associated with intrusive site work, such as soil borings or excavations. By identifying subsurface structures beforehand, we help prevent potential conflicts, reduce unexpected project costs, and avoid schedule delays due to damage.
Key Features of Our GPR Services:
Real-Time Data Interpretation: Our skilled technicians interpret GPR data on-site, marking detected locations immediately to facilitate seamless project progression.
Integrated GPS Mapping: The built-in GPS allows us to accurately plot marked locations on site maps, ensuring precise documentation for ongoing or future reference.
Enhancing Project Safety and Efficiency
Incorporating a GPR survey before commencing any intrusive site activities is a proactive measure to safeguard against encountering unforeseen subsurface obstacles. This approach not only enhances safety but also contributes to the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of your project.
To further ensure the accuracy and safety of our operations, METI offers complementary services such as soft-digging and hand-clearing. These methods physically verify the absence of utilities or obstructions, providing an additional layer of assurance before proceeding with site work.
