GPR scanning is used to locate buried infrastructure and subsurface anomalies when drawings are unavailable or incomplete.

Typical Vancouver applications include:

• Utility detection prior to excavation

• Locating buried tanks or vaults

• Mapping foundations and footings

• Detecting voids or disturbed soil

• Site investigation for redevelopment projects

Our team selects antenna frequencies based on required depth and resolution to ensure accurate target identification.

Concrete scanning using GPR identifies embedded materials before coring, drilling, or saw cutting. This prevents structural damage, service strikes, and costly project delays.

We detect and mark:

• Reinforcing steel (rebar)

• Post-tension cable paths

• Electrical and communication conduits

• Plumbing and hydronic piping

• Slab thickness changes

• Voids and delaminations

Surface markings are provided immediately so crews can proceed without interruption.

Public locate services mark registered municipal utilities only. Private utilities beyond the property demarcation require professional private locating.

Terraprobe locates:

• Electrical services

• Communication lines

• Tracer-wired plastic piping

• Metallic water and gas lines

• Building-to-building services

Private locating is often combined with GPR scanning to ensure full site coverage.

Terraprobe brings the formidable capabilities of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) to Victoria, offering unparalleled advantages in archaeological surveys. With its non-invasive capacity to penetrate the ground, GPR provides precise subsurface imaging, cementing its status as an essential tool for archaeological investigations in our region. Trust Terraprobe to unlock the secrets hidden beneath Victoria's soil.

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.
