Utility Locating
To ensure the overall timely success of your project, utility detection is critical to any construction project where subsurface excavation is planned. If this critical first step is ignored, the risk for injury increases, budget overruns can multiply, and your schedule can be delayed.
VIDEO PIPE INSPECTION (CCTV)
Video Pipe Inspection (CCTV) is a service used to inspect underground water sewer and lateral pipelines. VPI is a great tool for investigating cross-bores, structural faults and damages, and lateral line inspection.
Concrete Scanning
Whether it's a renovation project or new build construction, the likelihood of needing to cut or core concrete is high. There is an inherent risk of striking rebar, conduits, and post tension cables during the cutting or coring process. If a striking occurs, repair costs begin to add up, delays creep into your schedule and it creates a safety hazard for your employees.
3D LASER SCANNING
As-built drawings are often out-of-date and inaccurate, leading to unexpected issues and critical delays. 3D laser scanning provides your team with precise point cloud data and 3D BIM models for reliable project planning, reducing the risk of change orders and project delays. Our 3D laser scanning services provide the link between unknown existing conditions and a true digital twin.
LEAK DETECTION
A water leak detection company that you can rely on, the GPRS team is here to help. We specialize in industrial, municipal and residential leak detection services. We’re experts in underground water leak detection, and our water loss specialists can quickly determine the root cause of the issue and recommend the appropriate fix. In many instances, including emergencies, we will utilize non-destructive testing (NDT) detection methods, including leak noise correlators, to avoid excavation, saving you money and time.
Mapping & Modeling
The goal of the GPRS Deliverables Department is to deliver clear and understandable findings with each of our outputs from field markings to field sketches, KMZ files, or CAD drawings that provide 2D site plans or even 3D CAD models. In addition, upon the completion of every project, our customers receive a job summary that includes job scope information, site photos, description of site conditions, equipment used, and notes from the project.

Don’t take a chance with your excavation job. Before you begin your construction or digging project, please contact your local GPRS sales representative, and save yourself time, money and headaches with our expert private utility locating services.
GPRS provides state-of-the-art video cameras for your sewer and video pipe inspection needs. Not only do we offer video pipe inspection, but GPRS delivers a list of services that include concrete scanning, utility locating, facility mapping and modeling, drone imagery, and leak detection, which is a much-needed addition to our VPI services. For VPI, GPRS utilizes three different types of cameras including a robotic crawler (CCTV), push camera, and lateral launch camera; each type enhances the other and allows Project Managers to investigate sewer and water pipes efficiently and effectively. For example, our robotic crawler, which is attached with a CCTV camera, can be inserted into a pipe up to 96” in diameter, while a push camera is best suited for the smaller water pipes the robotic crawler will not be able to fit. By using three different types of cameras, GPRS guarantees there isn’t a water or sewer system that they won’t be able to investigate.

Private Utility Locating Contractor
Utility line strikes are on the rise, and yet many excavation contractors only follow local or state regulations to call “811” before digging. These services are only required to find public utilities, however, leaving the private utility lines to guesswork.
What You Need to Know: Private utility lines exist alongside public utilities, and are not being identified by standard utility locating services. If your project strikes or damages a utility line while digging, you will be responsible for repairing the damages.
Utilizing any private utility locating contractor still may not be enough unless a thorough investigation takes place prior to digging, there is still a lot of risk for a line strike. GPRS has a proven process and track record to not only locate subsurface utility lines, but to provide complete maps after the investigation to help ensure that your dig is safe.
GPRS can provide your team with a wide range of subsurface utility mapping options, from simple field sketches to a full-blown AutoCAD report, pinpointing exactly where buried private utility lines lie. Our advanced reporting will provide you with a permanent utilities location record for future reference. Scan once and make sure your job site is ready for your team to start digging.
Concrete Scanning Services
From hanging signage in a parking deck to installing sanitary lines in a basement, you need to know what’s behind that concrete. Knowing where the critical utility lines in a concrete slab or wall is information that can save you costly repairs, change orders, downtime and potential worker injury. GPRS utilizes the latest concrete scanning equipment to identify utility lines embedded in the concrete, providing fast and reliable layouts marked directly on to the concrete surface.
What You Need to Know: Scanning the concrete to locate subsurface private utility lines will minimize the risks of striking electrical conduits, sewer lines, rebar, post tension cables and more, saving you costly repairs and downtime in the process.
Having a visual representation of what lies beneath the concrete surface provides the driller or excavator the line of sight he needs to perform the job safely and accurately.

Concrete Scanning Technology Used To Locate Rebar
When a contractor needed to verify that there was no rebar in the concrete in the area where they wanted to core drill they called Ground Penetrating Radar Systems. GPRS marked the Rebar directly onto the surface and since there is no radiation involved the occupied building didn’t need to be cleared of any workers. Continue reading...
