What Is GPR Scanning?
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) scanning is a non-destructive detection method used to identify underground utilities, structures, voids, and other subsurface features without excavation. GPR equipment sends electromagnetic signals into the ground or concrete and analyzes the returning signals to identify changes and objects beneath the surface.
GPR scanning can help locate electrical conduits, pipes, rebar, post-tension cables, underground utility lines, tanks, voids, and other buried features. It is useful for construction sites, concrete structures, roads, foundations, parking areas, and other locations where knowing what is below the surface is important before work begins.
Utility Locating & Mapping Nebraska uses advanced GPR scanning technology to help contractors, engineers, property owners, and project managers better understand subsurface conditions. GPR scanning can help reduce excavation risks, prevent accidental damage, improve project planning, and support safer drilling, cutting, and construction activities.
When Is GPR Scanning Necessary?
GPR scanning is necessary when underground or concealed structures need to be identified without excavation. It is commonly used before digging, drilling, coring, cutting, trenching, or construction when the location of buried utilities or embedded objects is unknown. GPR can help identify pipes, electrical conduits, rebar, post-tension cables, voids, and other subsurface features.
GPR scanning is especially useful for construction sites, concrete slabs, foundations, roads, parking areas, bridges, commercial properties, and infrastructure projects. It can also be valuable when existing utility records are incomplete or inaccurate, when previous construction has changed the site, or when project teams need additional information about underground conditions before modifying a structure.
Using Ground Penetrating Radar technology before construction work can help reduce the risk of utility strikes, structural damage, safety hazards, unexpected delays, and costly repairs. Professional GPR scanning gives contractors and project managers better information about subsurface conditions, allowing them to plan work with greater accuracy, safety, and confidence.
What Is Required For GPR Scanning?
GPR scanning requires safe and reasonable access to the area being inspected. The scanning surface should be accessible and as clear as possible from equipment, materials, vehicles, furniture, or other obstacles. Customers should also identify the specific areas, project boundaries, and locations where excavation, drilling, coring, or construction work is planned.
Before scanning begins, it is helpful to provide site plans, construction drawings, utility records, previous survey information, or details about known underground infrastructure. This information can help technicians understand the site and determine the appropriate scanning approach. Depending on the project, GPR may be performed across soil, concrete slabs, floors, walls, foundations, roads, or other surfaces.
The technician will use specialized Ground Penetrating Radar equipment to collect subsurface data and identify potential utilities, structures, voids, or embedded objects. For the best results, the work area should be accessible and free from unnecessary obstructions. Proper preparation helps make GPR scanning efficient, accurate, and useful for safer project planning.
