Welcome to Ground Penetrating Radar Systems, Inc.

We use the latest ground penetrating technology to provide critical information on utilities, materials, and other potential obstructions within existing structures or underground.  Fast and reliable, GPRS provides both two- and three-dimensional images of the scanned areas without delivering any radiation.  All of our equipment is registered and meets all standard FCC regulations.

Utilizing GPR reduces risk and cost, promotes a safe work environment, and provides non-destructive testing by locating materials such as concrete, plastic, metal, steel, rock, soil, ice, and pavement.  Our client base includes hospitals, universities, surveyors, engineers, homeowners, contractors, environmentalists, and excavators.

Ground Penetrating Radar in Ohio

Ground Penetrating Radar technology is ground radar that acts as a type of ground sonar and provides critical information regarding anything that could be located below the surface. It is sometimes called ground sonar, concrete scanning, surface penetrating radar or ground radar. This technology is used throughout Ohio as-well-as around the country for a variety of underground scanning purposes including but not limited to:

• Locating underground utilities
• Conducting concrete x-rays
• Post-tension location
• Locating foundations
• Concrete scanning

GPRS works in a fast and reliable manner. It is also very safe, as it uses no radiation. We use this technology throughout the states of Ohio. Cities such as Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati in Ohio.

*All of our ground penetrating radar equipment is registered and meets all FCC, Ohio regulations

We are able to provide two and three-dimensional images of each area we scan.

At GPRS our mission is to provide solutions to the critical problems our customers in Ohio face regarding the location of hidden elements in concrete and underground.

Ground Penetrating Radar UST Locating Kent, Ohio
The Akron, OH office of Arcadis, US had a project where they needed to determine the location of abandoned Underground Storage Tanks (UST’s) in Kent, OH. The property had a record of once having had UST’s on site, but it was not known where they were located. The objective of the GPR survey was to determine if the tanks were still on site and to give their exact location so they could be removed in order for a bridge to be constructed on the site. The project was a success as Jamie Althauser of GPRS was easily able to identify the location of Underground Storage Tanks and he was able to determine their approximate size and depth. Jamie Althauser is the Regional Director of operations in Northeast Ohio and Western Pennsylvania for GPRS. He can be reached in Akron, OH at (330) 352-0145 and in Pittsburgh, PA at (412) 392-2266 or by e-mail at jamie.althauser@gp-radar.com.
