Ground penetrating radar gives our Ohio customers the capability to determine:
- Thickness of Concrete/Uniform Thickness of the entire slab.
- Location and depth of reinforcing steel.
- Location of most subsurface utilities in Ohio.
- Location of voids inside slabs in Ohio using Ground Penetrating Radar System.
- "See" to a maximum depth of 10'.
Please note that the effectiveness in depth is dependent on soil composition, moisture content, size of piping, material of piping, among other factors.
As a general rule of thumb a target needs to be one inch in diameter for every foot that it is buried. For example for us to see a 4" diameter pipe, it would need to be within 4 feet of the surface.

After using the surface scanning equipment in Ohio, we can provide detailed reports and diagrams detailing the exact location of reinforcing rod, conduit, plumbing, fiber optic cable, etc.
Your risk is reduced when using ground penetrating radar
Operators will know where conduit is located reducing risk of electrocution or equipment shutdown.
By knowing where all subsurface utilities are located, your risk of cutting through underground utility lines is substantially reduced along with possible expensive repairs with Ground Penetrating Radar System.
Ground penetrating radar uses no radiation.
Ground Penetrating Radar locates almost anything underground and can accurately and nondestructively sees through solid materials. GPR can see through asphalt and concrete to detect subsurface objects and determine the condition and thickness of the material examined. Ground Penetrating Radar uses a noninvasive electromagnetic geophysical technique that has the highest resolution of any geophysical method. Ground Penetrating Radar in Ohio also uses scattering to image, locate and measure spot changes in the ground. Scattering results when an electromagnetic wave locates a change in electrical or magnetic subsurface material.
