Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR). Geophysical Equipment.
​Georadar is a modern device that allows remote detection of metal and non-metallic communications, artifacts, ruins of ancient cities and other objects deep underground. Georadar is indispensable in construction and helps to explore the area in detail before starting survey work.
GEOTECH provides gpr  equipment: ground penetrating radar, seismographs, electrical exploration instruments, security detectors, search and rescue system.
Appointment. Georadar is a subsurface sounding device characterized by a special accuracy of research. GPR sounding is one of the methods of non–destructive testing. Used for:
1. Detection of underground engineering networks and communications, archaeological sites – relevant for areas with dense urban development, as well as a large traffic flow. With the help of GPR: detect places of household waste; examine the site before performing construction work; determine the pipeline and the location of the tie-in pipes, telephone cables, collectors. The owner (or the customer) is provided with the results with detailed plan diagrams, which depict all communications of the investigated site.
2. Surveys of building structures. The main purpose: to determine the depth of the location of communications and fittings; to investigate for the presence of damage and defects, for example: cracks, voids; for concrete structures to determine the thickness and condition of the protective layer, to assess the foundations; to study the soils under the coating of roads and bridges. Elimination of defects is possible with the preservation of asphalt on the entire surface of bridge structures. The results obtained are exported to the AutoCAD software package. The provided maps indicate the placement and degree of detachment and deterioration of concrete.
Advantages of using GPR.
There are a lot of advantages of these amazing devices. For centuries, people have used a willow twig or a wire frame to find places where there is water and to search for precious ore. Even the Egyptians used these methods, they are quite working, you can still use them today, but it is much more convenient and reliable to use modern technologies. Imagine a foreman with a willow twig examining the place of future construction, such attempts can not cause anything but a smile. Let's look at the three main advantages of ground-penetrating radars in construction.
1. Conducting an examination does not require violation of the investigated surface.
2. To carry out the work, it is sufficient to provide access to the device from one side of the structure.
3. High speed and detail of the study. Georadar scanning simplifies the procedure of inspection of building structures. This is the most technologically advanced and efficient process.
