Do You Need A GPR Survey?
2
The simple answer to this is yes. If you are
doing any type of groundworks, then unless you
can see through the soil, you need a GPR survey.
So, why is carrying out such a survey so
important?
3
Quite simply undertaking a GPR survey allows you
to get the best possible view of what is going on
below ground level. It allows you to see
underground in the same way as BIM modelling
services allow you to see above ground.

This means that whether you are an archaeologist
looking for hidden treasures or a builder looking
for pipes and sinkholes, you can see what is
likely to be there before you spend money, time,
and effort digging up the whole site.
5
It reduces the time it takes to put the
surrounding area right as you need fewer
exploratory digs and reduces the risk of causing
damage to existing ground and pipe works.

However, a GPR survey is only as good as the team
carrying out the work and the knowledge of those
interpreting the results. This is why you need to
ensure that you only use an experienced and
knowledgeable survey team.
