A local Chicago environmental contractor needed to perform work and still several monitoring wells at a site in Hammond, IN. The site was known to be congested with utilities. Our client called us to perform a GPR scan of the area to identify and locate these utilities.

Ground Penetrating Radar Systems (GPRS) conducted the GPR scan to locate underground utilities or other significant anomalies that may be struck in the drilling process. The reason GPR scans are used on areas like this is to locate any unknowns/utilities/pipes so these utilities can be avoided and remain undamaged, ensuring projects stay on schedule, don’t have repair costs and enable a safe work environment.

Utility locating is a common application for GPRS technicians. If you have any questions regarding the use of Ground Penetrating Radar for concrete scanning or underground imaging on your job site in Illinois or Northwest Indiana, please contact John Lause at 312-485-7725 or john.lause@gprsinc.com.
