When planning excavation, drilling, or cutting into concrete, one of the most important steps is identifying what lies beneath the surface. Detecting underground utilities is of utmost importance. Two of the most commonly used methods for locating underground utilities are ground penetrating radar (GPR) and electromagnetic (EM) locating. But which one is better? The answer […]

Sinkholes can be a hidden danger beneath your property. In Arkansas, where karst geology and certain soil conditions make sinkholes more likely, detecting them early is essential. Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) offers a reliable, non-invasive way to identify underground voids before they cause serious damage. But how do you know when it’s time to call in […]

Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a powerful, non-destructive technology used to see what’s hidden below the surface—without digging, drilling, or causing damage. Across Arkansas, GPR services are relied on by a wide range of industries to improve safety, reduce risk, and make better-informed decisions before work begins. Below, we break down the most common industries […]

When it comes to Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), the quality of your results depends on more than just the equipment — it also depends on what’s beneath your feet. Soil properties and moisture levels play a major role in how radar signals travel and how clearly subsurface features can be detected. At GPR Arkansas, we […]

Before beginning construction, development, or even basic planning on a commercial site, it’s critical to know exactly what’s underground. Old foundations, storage tanks, tunnels, and other hidden structures can pose serious safety, cost, and design risks if left undetected. That’s where ground penetrating radar (GPR) comes in. At GPR Arkansas, we use advanced commercial GPR […]

When starting a new project, it’s tempting to jump straight into the work. After all, what could go wrong? Unfortunately, failing to assess what’s beneath the surface can lead to dangerous, costly, and time-consuming issues. From safety hazards to unexpected project delays, overlooking the underground can derail even the best-laid plans. Why It’s Critical to […]

Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) technology is widely recognized for its ability to detect underground utilities, storage tanks, and other structures. However, GPR offers much more than just subsurface detection. One key advantage of GPR is its ability to assess concrete slab depth and thickness, two critical factors in construction and engineering projects. By measuring radar waves as they reflect […]
