Whether you’re installing a fence, adding a pool, replacing a driveway, building a home addition, or troubleshooting an underground issue, knowing what’s below the surface is essential. GPR Arkansas provides residential ground penetrating radar (GPR) services to help homeowners locate underground utilities, water lines, electrical lines, rebar, foundations, voids, and other hidden obstacles before digging or drilling begins. Learn more about how GPR works.
GPR Arkansas can locate objects below the surface, including water lines, electrical wires, cable TV lines, fiber optic networks, along with other hazards.
GPR can also locate items such as rebar, abandoned structures, and voids. Knowing what is going on in the area you are wanting to excavate is important for the safety of the people involved, the equipment being used, and the services that may be disrupted.
The systems that GPR-Arkansas use are versatile and can be used in a variety of situations. Some of the most common reasons we inspect residential properties include:
GPR is a great way to detect buried utilities. We can observe objects below the surface that other services like One Call and 811 may miss. GPR is one of the few non-destructive technologies capable of locating both metallic and many non-metallic underground features.
We can detect cable, electrical lines, fiber optics, and water lines. If you’re able to locate these items before you dig, you can protect yourself from the responsibility and liability for severing services, injuring people, or damaging equipment or property.
Think about the amount of concrete you have around your home: patios, pool decks, driveways, garage floors, and so on. Our GPR systems can look through the concrete slab to see conduits, rebar, cracks, and other buried hazards.
Before you replace, cut, or drill concrete, make sure you know what lies below the surface. Just like under soil, you can be injured, damage property, or disrupt services with a misplaced cut. Take the time to inspect your slab.
There may be a time when you will need to know the size of your foundation and footings. Before you start digging up your yard, let GPR-Arkansas use our equipment to give you an easy-to-read image of your foundation.
Avoid unnecessary digging, save time and money, and reduce damage to your property with a non-destructive GPR survey.
You may think the area you are digging in is free from objects, but it is better to be safe than sorry. There can be any number of things under the surface, both man-made and natural. The GPR system can locate, large rocks, abandoned structures, voids, and other hazards.
Don’t begin doing any digging or drilling without knowing what is under the ground. Contact the professionals at GPR-Arkansas to come out and inspect your property. Having the knowledge that the area is clear of hazards will allow you to safely excavate, protecting people, equipment, property, and services from being injured or damaged.
