Ground Penetrating Radar Systems was contacted by a customer to locate underground utilities in a future America Credit Union location. The customer was going to excavate to put a new building on the lot and were concerned about hitting surrounding utilities. GPRS came out and successfully located all of the live power lines as well as the utilities.

Ground Penetrating Radar Systems used a 400 MHz antenna for this application and a Radio Detection (RD) device to detect electrical current deep in the soil. GPRS’ 400 MHz antenna was ideal because of its accurate deep penetration and the open clear area the technician had to work. GPR was ideal for this application due to the active work site in the surrounding areas. GPR emits no radiation and is safe for others to work in the area near the scan location.

For a similar scan on your job site in Utah, Idaho, or Montana please contact Adam Kubicki at 801-599-2115 or at adam.kubicki@gprsinc.com. Sonar has also been used to locate reinforcement and conduit in concrete. GPRS jobs have been performed in Salt Lake City, Provo, Park City, Ogden, Orem, West Valley, and West Jordan, Utah.
