What is GPR..,
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a real-time NDT
technique that uses high frequency radio waves,
yielding data with very high resolution in a short
amount of time.
This technique uses electromagnetic waves that travel
at a specific velocity determined by the permittivity of
the material.
HOW DOES GPR WORK?
WHAT DOES GPR DETECT?
Ground Penetrating Radar signals can be used to
find a wide range of items.
GPR is often used to map items made of the
following materials:
• Metal,
• Plastic,
• PVC,
• Concrete,
• Natural materials.
 Principle
GPR technique is based on the principle of
reflection of electromagnetic waves to locate the
natural and cultural features.
The electromagnetic wave is radiated from a
transmitting antenna, travels through the material
at a velocity which is determined primarily by the
permittivity of the material.
Depth of investigation
Typically, the depth of investigation using a GPR
varies due to certain onsite conditions, The
moisture, salt and clay content and water table.
Ideally, under dry conditions, low frequencies will
penetrate deeper but resolution will be low, higher
frequencies the subsurface with high resolution
but depth is limited.
