Ground Penetrating Radar Services on iseekplant
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) services are essential for subsurface investigations, providing detailed images of what lies beneath the ground. These services are crucial for construction, archaeology, environmental studies, and utility location. By using high-frequency radio waves, GPR can detect objects, changes in material, voids, and cracks within various media such as soil, rock, concrete, and pavement. This non-invasive method ensures that projects can proceed with minimal disruption to the site, making it a preferred choice for many professionals.
Ground Penetrating Radar Cost Guide
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) services are invaluable for a variety of applications in the construction and mining industries. Below is an updated table outlining the average costs associated with different GPR services:
| GPR Service Type | Average Cost per Hour (AUD) | Average Cost per Day (AUD) |
|---|---|---|
| Basic Utility Mapping | $150 - $300 | $1,200 - $2,400 |
| Concrete Scanning | $180 - $350 | $1,400 - $2,800 |
| Environmental Survey | $220 - $450 | $1,760 - $3,600 |
| Structural Analysis | $190 - $400 | $1,520 - $3,200 |
| Pavement Analysis | $200 - $420 | $1,600 - $3,360 |
| Geological Survey | $210 - $430 | $1,680 - $3,440 |
| Void Detection | $230 - $460 | $1,840 - $3,680 |
Note: All prices listed on this page are estimates, exclude GST and are in AUD. Price estimates can vary based on location and additional requirements.
Additional Costs to Consider
When budgeting for GPR services, it is essential to account for potential additional costs. The table below highlights some of these costs:
| Additional Cost Type | Average Cost (AUD) | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Travel Expenses | $50 - $150 per site visit | Costs incurred for travelling to and from the project site |
| Data Analysis and Report | $300 - $600 | Fees for detailed data analysis and report preparation |
| Permits and Compliance | $100 - $300 | Required permits and compliance with local regulations |
| Equipment Setup | $100 - $200 | Fees for setting up the GPR equipment on-site |

Difference Between Utility Location Services & Ground Penetrating Radar Services
While Utility Location Services and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) are used for subsurface investigations, they serve different purposes and use different technologies. Here’s how they differ:
- Utility Location Services: These services use electromagnetic devices to locate and map underground utilities such as water pipes, gas lines, and electrical cables. This method is particularly useful for identifying metallic utilities but may have limitations with non-metallic pipes.
- Ground Penetrating Radar Services: GPR uses high-frequency radio waves to penetrate the ground and provide a detailed image of subsurface structures. This method is more versatile and can detect a wider range of materials, including non-metallic objects and changes in soil composition. GPR is ideal for applications beyond utility location, such as archaeological surveys, environmental studies, and concrete scanning.
How Does GPR Work?
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) works by transmitting high-frequency radio waves into the ground through an antenna. When these waves encounter different subsurface materials, they are reflected back to the surface. A receiving antenna captures the reflected signals, which are then processed and interpreted to create a detailed image of the subsurface structure.
Steps in the GPR Process:
- Site Preparation: The area to be scanned is cleared of any surface obstructions to ensure accurate readings.
- Equipment Setup: The GPR system, including the transmitter and receiver antennas, is set up on the site.
- Data Collection: The GPR system is moved systematically across the survey area, emitting radio waves and capturing reflected signals.
- Data Processing: The collected data is processed using specialised software to create a visual representation of the subsurface.
- Analysis and Reporting: Experts analyse the GPR data to identify and map subsurface features. A detailed report is then prepared, outlining the findings and providing recommendations based on the analysis.
With these steps, GPR provides a comprehensive and non-invasive method for investigating subsurface conditions, making it an invaluable tool for various industries and applications.
