Geotechnical & Archeological Surveying
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.
Roadway Analysis Survey
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.
