Overview

Subsurface clearance before you dig.

Strike unknown infrastructure during construction and the cost compounds — schedule slip, equipment damage, utility outage, safety incident. GPR pre-clears the site by imaging buried utilities, voids, archaeological features, and reinforcement networks before earthmoving begins.

We operate multi-frequency GPR arrays — 500 MHz for shallow utility detection, 250 MHz for general subsurface mapping, 100 MHz for deeper targets. Data is migrated, filtered, and interpreted to produce vectorised utility maps tied to your coordinate system.

Output is a GIS-ready utility layer with confidence-graded interpretation, suitable for direct integration into BIM and design platforms.

Processing Stack

Background removal → bandpass filtering → time-zero correction → migration → topographic correction → utility picking + classification → GIS export.
