WHY IS GPR IMPORTANT?

the key benefit of a GPR survey is that it allows buried services to be mapped accurately with no need for any excavation.

GPR is an effective approach to locating non-metallic and plastic pipes such as gas or water mains, together with locating shallow voids.

Without a comprehensive utility survey you will find a risk of accidentally striking a buried service, which may be both extremely dangerous and result in significant costs.

Having a complete understanding of services located within your site reduces the chance of encountering unforeseen or complicated issues during the design and build stages.

OUR APPROACH

With several years? experience on a number of projects, Terrain Surveys have the ability to help you with a cost-effective solution that's fit for purpose. Using experienced surveyors and our investment in the latest GPR technology, we are able to quickly survey and process large sites. We can then offer a range of 2D and 3D survey deliverables to fit your requirements.

SOME CONSIDERATIONS

With all types of utility survey equipment there are a few limitations to GPR plus some considerations when requesting a utility survey of your site.

http://www.landsurveyorsgloucestershire.uk/best-gpr-surveys-gloucestershire/ is recommended that we have a topographical survey drawing in order that service covers can be located and lifted and most importantly to provide the utility survey results effectively.

Services could be traced to a depth of around 2-3 3 metres.

Ground conditions can have an effect on survey results - the site area needs to be free from vegetation or other obstructions.

Any service with a diameter of significantly less than 38mm is probably not detectable.

It can be necessary to implement traffic management where in fact the survey area includes the highway.
