Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) Service
At Panhandle Private Locate, our ground penetrating radar (GPR) service provides advanced, non-invasive detection of underground utilities and structures. GPR technology is one of the most versatile tools available, giving you accurate insight into what lies beneath the surface before excavation or construction begins.
How We Use Ground Penetrating Radar
Our technicians employ state-of-the-art GPR equipment that sends high-frequency radar signals into the ground. When these signals encounter buried objects, voids, or changes in material, they bounce back to the receiver. This allows us to create detailed images of underground conditions, even for non-metallic utilities that traditional electromagnetic locating tools may miss.
We methodically survey the area, mapping and marking all relevant findings on the surface. GPR is especially effective for identifying plastic pipes, concrete structures, rebar, and other subsurface features.
Why Ground Penetrating Radar Is Essential
Not all underground utilities or obstacles are made of conductive materials. That means pipes, tanks, or voids could go undetected without GPR. Using this technology ensures that both metallic and non-metallic utilities are identified before digging begins.
By implementing GPR, we help you prevent accidental damage, project delays, and unexpected costs. More importantly, this service adds another layer of safety for your crew and the surrounding community by revealing hidden risks.
