Geophysical Surveys with Concrete Scanning from ScanMan

3d multichannel ground Penetrating radar surveying

3D Multichannel Ground Penetrating Radar Survey overview

The Client was upgrading the road and wished to perform some deep pavement profiling. It has been requested that the contractor undertakes a 3D Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) survey to investigate the location of possible shallow services / Obstacles (within 500mm of surface) which might cause delays during the profiling works.

This shallow set up can also be used on most surfaces including concrete & structures, For deeper Surveys we can simply use different Antennae's with lower frequency for more penetration.

The delineation of subsurface features such as these requires high-resolution data with dense spatial sampling, which only few geophysical methods can satisfy. The geophysical method utilised was Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR).

The aim of the survey was to provide site characterisation information and detail, which will contribute to existing site, plans; thereby providing a safer working environment and detail for informed decision making.

This Scanman System is the most technically advanced GPR system on the market. It is the only system of its kind that integrates acquisition, processing, QA/QC, positioning data, interpretation and export of ground penetrating radar data.

The survey was conducted by mounting instrumentation on a 4WD mower.
