Ground Penetrating Radar is a cutting edge non-destructive technology that is extensively used in various fields like construction, locating utilities and pipes underground, bridge and road inspection, concrete inspection, geology, archaeology, etc. It can be used over a variety of media such as rock, ice, soil, water, concrete, pavement, and structures as well as to locate all types of underground substances. It is more recently coming into popularity for concrete and bridge inspections as well as for construction to locate underground pipes and electric before digging How it works GPR or Ground Penetrating Radar uses high-frequency Radar pulses or electromagnetic waves which usually fall into the range of 10 MHz to 2.6 GHz to scan the subsurface. Radar (Radio detection and ranging) is a technology used to detect the target in free space and determine its range. A GPR setup consists of a transmitting and receiving unit, control unit, display console, and power supplies. It sends an el...
