GPRS, Inc. was contacted by a general contractor in Milwaukee, WI to locate many private utilities in areas where excavation would occur in the parking lot of a high school. The contractor’s usual utility locating contractor could not handle such a large job on short notice. GPRS, Inc. scheduled and completed next day! GPRS, Inc. was able to locate sewer, sanitary, water lines, and electric lines and much more on site. Many of these utilities were made of plastic and unable to be located by traditional methods. Thanks to GPR technology, GPRS, Inc. was able to locate the lines of search for safe excavation. GPR was able to penetrate over 6’ in depth in areas to locate very deep utilities.

Ground penetrating radar is a great tool to scan areas of post tension cables, rebar, and conduits, including PVC pipes and to locate underground utilities prior to digging or excavating. GPR can also locate voids, remaining foundations, and is great for UST locating! Please contact Ground Penetrating Radar Systems – GPRS to learn how we can assist with your project.
