Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)
|
Ground
Penetrating
Radar (GPR)
is a
valuable
tool in
identifying
underground
utilities,
buried tanks
and other
subsurface
anomalies. GPR
emits a
electromagnetic
pulse into
the ground
that records
echoes and
builds an
image from
the echoes.
Basically,
GPS creates
a picture of
the
subsurface.

Ground Penetrating
Radar can detect
objects as deep as
30 to 40 feet,
however, it is best
suited for depth up
to 15 feet below
ground surface.
Penetration depth is
dependent on soil
conditions and or surface
conditions and the
electrical
conductivity of the
soil. GPR can be
used in variety of
media including
concrete, pavement,
rock, soil, ice and
fresh water. Link to

The advantage of GPR
is that it is fast,
reliable and is very
safe. GPR does not
use any radiation.
EPD can provide
this service
individually or
in conjunction
with
Environmental
Subsurface
Investigation.
Our ability to
package both GPR
survey and
soil/groundwater
sampling into
one (1)
mobilization
provides
timelier project
completion and
budget savings
to you, our
Client.
EPD is able to
cost
competitively
service all
areas of the
United States
lower 48 and in
Canada/Mexico as
well. We also
offer service
agreements with
fixed pricing
for repetitive
scopes of work
or for large
property
portfolios.
EPD continually
strives to
enhance our turn
key
environmental
site assessment
field services.
Our success is
based on
building
long-term
relations by
proving
