Ground Penetrating Radar

With ground penetrating radar Precision Locating's technician can see a pipe or cable in its topographical context making it ideal for locating and excavating utilities. The advantage over a traditional, electromagnetic locator is that ground penetrating radar can see non-conductive materials including plastic, clay and cement pipes.

This type of specialized radar works a lot like regular radar. The radar unit has a sending antenna which sends out pulses of sound, and a receiving antenna, which picks up those pulses when they bounce off objects underground. The returned pulses can be used to construct an image of what is underground, because they will vary depending on the depth and composition of buried objects.Several factors influence the usefulness of ground penetrating radar. The first is the nature of the ground being examined, and what is being looked for; subtle geological differences, for example, can make it hard to get an accurate picture. The strength and frequency of the signal also makes a difference, as does the conductivity of the ground. Some types of rock and soil conduct sound better than others, generating a clearer picture.
