Applications of GPR Scanning
GPR scanning is suitable for many different applications across industries. Here are some of the most common uses for this technology:
Reinforcement Mapping
GPR detects and maps rebar within concrete, making it essential for structural assessments and renovation planning.
Void Detection
Identify subsurface voids that could compromise the integrity of roads, runways, and other infrastructure.
Utility Detection
GPR is often used to locate underground utilities like pipes and cables before construction or excavation begins.
GPR in Action: Real-World Success Stories
- Airport Runways: Our GPR technology has been used to scan airport runways, identifying voids and reinforcement to ensure the safety and integrity of the surface.
- Roadways: In road construction and maintenance, GPR is essential for detecting subsurface issues like voids or buried utilities, preventing costly mistakes during excavation.
- Rail Infrastructure: We’ve successfully deployed GPR to scan rail tracks and detect hidden issues, helping to extend the life of critical transport networks.
By delivering high-precision data, GPR allows for proactive maintenance, ensuring the long-term safety of infrastructure.

GPR Scanning FAQ
GPR scanning is used to detect and map subsurface features such as rebar, utilities, and voids in concrete, soil, and other materials. It’s widely used in construction, infrastructure, and historical preservation projects.
Yes, GPR scanning is completely safe. It’s a non-invasive, non-destructive method that uses electromagnetic waves to gather data, making it safe for use in a variety of environments.
The depth of GPR scanning depends on the material being scanned. In concrete, GPR can typically scan up to 1 meter deep, while in soil, depths of up to 3 meters or more can be achieved.
GPR scanning provides highly accurate data, with results depending on the material being scanned and the equipment used. In general, GPR can detect features to within a few centimeters of their actual location.
Yes, GPR is highly effective at detecting subsurface voids in materials like soil and concrete. This makes it essential for assessing the structural integrity of roads, bridges, and buildings.
The time required for a GPR scan depends on the size of the area being scanned. For small areas, a scan can be completed in a matter of hours, while larger projects like roadways may take several days.
