What is GPR – Ground Penetrating Radar?

GPR is a high-tech device that can see through the ground, concrete, rock, wood, ice, and even water. Compared to other technologies, georadar is affordable and provides quick and accurate results. GPR survey is fully NDT (Non-destructive Testing), cost efficient way to identify sub-surface objects and features.

What can GPR be used for?

GPR can investigate everything that is located below the ground surface. GPR is suitable for determining the location, depth, shape, size, and extent of objects. For example, it can be used to find underground communications, drainage systems, foundations, voids, trenches, hidden objects, and anything else that stands out from the surrounding environment.

GPR surveys do not break the surface or damage the objects being investigated. This is very important for both communication networks and archaeological research. In addition, GPR can determine the thickness and structure of soil layers and find anomalies caused by pollution, for example. GPR surveys can be carried out anywhere where the survey area can be scanned with GPR.

GPR on Mars

In 2020, NASA's Mars rover Perseverance landed on the surface of Mars. The rover is searching Mars for signs of microbes that may have once lived there. The goal is to find out whether Mars could have once been habitable for living organisms and whether the components...
