Assessing sites for hidden environmental hazards such as underground storage tanks, buried drums, landfllls, trenches, abandoned pits and waste lagoons is routine in the environmental assessment industry.

During the past two decades, GPR has become an integral part of subsurface environmental investigations, applied to large contaminated industrial sites as well as at the local street corner petrol station with leaking underground storage tanks. GPR’s ability to rapidly scan large areas and detect buried debris and objects as well as disturbed soil saves tremendous amount of project funds by allowing environmental scientists and engineers to focus their attention to where it matters.
