GPR Scanning in Calgary

GPR scanning supports:

  • Utility detection prior to excavation

  • Locating foundations and footings

  • Mapping buried infrastructure

  • Detecting voids beneath slabs

This is particularly valuable when drawings are incomplete or unreliable.

Pavement Condition Assessment

Roadway Analysis Survey in Calgary

Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is used as a tool for assessing the condition of the pavement at locations of distress, as well as identifying areas of previous maintenance/repair activities that are not visible. In assessing the existing condition of a pavement structure, locations of past maintenance activities are often overlooked, or concealed by rehabilitation activities such as mill and overlays. Potential problem areas may not be evident at the time of evaluation, and if ignored could increase the rate of deterioration of the pavement structure.

FAQ

Can GPR detect non-metallic utilities in Calgary soil conditions?

Yes. GPR detects non-metallic utilities and buried features that traditional line tracing cannot locate.

Does Calgary public locating include private utilities?

No. Private utilities require professional private utility locating services.
