Ground Penetrating Radar Equipment

How to Consider Ground Penetrating Radar Equipment Purchases

The march of technology continues to transform many industries, and the advent of more widely available ground-penetrating radar equipment is an important part of that trend. Enabling everyone from utility surveyors and builders to archaeologists to get an in-depth and detailed look at what’s hiding under the ground or within structures, GPR is a critical technology that can provide vital new functionalities for many businesses. At GPR Solutions Limited, we are proud to provide New Zealand with its sole source of experience and equipment in this area.

What You Should Know About Ground Penetrating Radar

If you aren’t entirely familiar with GPR, its benefits and features can be somewhat confusing at first. Here’s what to keep in mind as you explore your options:

• GPR systems are versatile, with many possible uses and the potential to play multiple roles within your organisation. As a result, they represent a substantial investment that can pay dividends now and into the future. By adopting GPR, you can simplify a range of essential maintenance tasks or expand your team’s current capabilities.
• Not every GPR setup will be able to perform every task, and some systems are better suited for specific applications over others. For example, it would be tough to cover large portions of a roadway with a push-operated GPR cart, and you may not have the resolution on such a device necessary to accomplish the task at hand. In that scenario, hardware such as the MALA RoadCart, purposefully designed and built for high-speed roadway scanning, would be the right choice. In other words, investigate the solution that suits your scenario most closely.

Tips Regarding Choosing a GPR System

What should you do when it comes to purchasing hardware? Try these tips:

• Seek experienced input and advice. There are many facts to consider and having someone who fully understands the equipment on your side is an invaluable resource.
• Select ground penetrating radar units that can perform the broadest range of roles within your organisation. Think of it as deriving the most value possible from your investment. Some MALA GPR units are especially adept at multi-role work and can be a very suitable solution.
• Don’t forget to consider the need for training services. Your team will need to know how to operate their new equipment, after all.
