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 […]

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 […]
