Engineering Survey & Soil Investigation #9374163

1) GPR Survey:

A Ground Penetrating Radar Survey, commonly referred to as a GPR survey, is a geophysical locating technique that makes use of radio waves to take images of entities below ground level without digging up the soil.

The GPR provides unprecedented insights and targets confidence to detect traditionally non-locatable subsurface features such as:

Non-metallic pipes, including PVC and asbestos cement

Underground Electrical Cable

Concrete storm and sewer systems

Utilities where installed tracer wiring has failed

Underground storage tanks and drainage tiles

Septic system components

Non-utility structures such as vaults, foundation walls and concrete pads

A Ground Penetrating Radar Survey, commonly referred to as a GPR survey, is a geophysical locating technique that makes use of radio waves to take images of entities  below ground level without digging up the soil.
The GPR provides unprecedented insights and targets confidence to detect traditionally non-locatable subsurface features such as:

• Non-metallic pipes, including PVC and asbestos cement
• Underground Electrical Cable
• Concrete storm and sewer systems
• Utilities where installed tracer wiring has failed
• Underground storage tanks and drainage tiles
• Septic system components
• Non-utility structures such as vaults, foundation walls and concrete pads

Private utility locating helps us to identify underground utilities in private properties. All utilities that are found will be visually marked with paint, letting all field personnel know that they need to avoid that area. Some of the utilities that are typically discovered and marked include:

• Gas pipes
• Backup generator lines
• Sewer laterals
• Septic tank pipes
• Irrigation systems
• Storm drains
• Site lighting lines
• Telecommunication lines

Private utility locating services are also useful in facilities like industries, schools, hospitals, apartments, and military installations that are not considered public-owned. These utilities are below the ground and may not be visible, so calling for private utility locating services is the best thing to do.
Performing an excavation before locating private utilities can lead to severe injuries to construction workers. Also, fixing or repairing damaged underground utilities can be expensive and time-consuming. Sometimes the repair may involve trenching or drilling the entire area. If an underground utility is damaged, it’s up to the project manager on-site to fix it as soon as possible.

A geographic information system (GIS) is a computer system for capturing, storing, checking, and displaying data related to positions on Earth’s surface. GIS can show many different kinds of data on one map, such as streets, buildings, and roads. This enables people to more easily see, analyse, and understand patterns and relationships.
Benefits Of GIS :

• GIS explores both geographical and thematic components of data in a holistic way
• GIS allows handling and exploration of large volumes of data
• GIS allows integration of data from widely disparate sources
• GIS allows analysis of data to explicitly incorporate location
• GIS allows wide variety of forms of visualization such as maps, reports, charts etc.
• GIS provides very accurate data
• GIS provides better predictions and analysis
