Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a valuable tool for various survey types, including geophysical and archaeological investigations. However, there is a common misconception regarding its application in utility surveys. While GPR is an integral part of our utility surveying process, a GPR survey should not be viewed as a substitute for a comprehensive utility survey.

​

At Location Surveys, we first employ all electromagnetic location (EML) utility survey methods. Once these methods have been thoroughly exhausted, we then utilise GPR to confirm our findings and identify any undetected targets. It’s important to note that GPR surveys are always conducted in conjunction with traditional EML surveys. Although GPR is a powerful tool, it has its limitations and is designed to complement our other services rather than serve as a standalone solution for utility detection.

We utilise a variety of GPR equipment, ensuring we have the right tools for any scenario, regardless of the area size.
