GPRS works with many environmental companies assisting with underground surveying. Our services range from locating utilities to the identification of underground storage tanks (UST’s). Most of these companies look to GPRS in helping them determine if UST’s are still in the ground and if so, where they are located. Recently, GPRS of South Bend was asked to mobilize to a property in Mishawaka, Indiana. The survey began on the north side of the property using our Electromagnetic Induction equipment, followed by traditional Ground Penetrating Radar, both yielding no evidence of any tanks. Next, the eastern and southern areas of the property were scanned in the same manner with both technologies producing evidence of existing UST’s. One of the many benefits of the GPR for these studies is the ability to not only locate the UST but also know the approximate size. As you can see in the picture below, all 4 sides of both UST’s were identified marked with paint directly on the surface of the asphalt.

Working in conjunction with an environmental firm a GPR survey was conducted at The Golf Club of Indiana Golf Course. Ground Penetrating Radar Systems (GPRS) was there to conduct the GPR scan to see if there were any possible underground utilities or underground pipes running through an area set aside for soil boring clearance. The reason GPR scanning is used on areas like this is to locate any hazards that may be in the way of drilling. It is easy for scientists to plan where they would like to their soil borings when unknowns like utilities and other obstructions are mapped out.

GPRS of Chicago was able to conduct the scan and locate possible utilities that could have posed problems later. No underground utilities, pipes or other obstructions were found; this information was then relayed to the environmental firm and drilling team so they could proceed.

Private 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...

John Kessinger from the Toledo, Ohio office was recently contacted by an ethanol plant in NE Indiana to locate reinforcing steel on top of 2 grain silo’s. The silo roof slabs were 6 inches thick with heavy amounts of re-steel. The plant was in need of making (3) 3 inch diameter holes on each silo for obtaining better fill level measurements. Once on site the radar testing was done quickly and accurately without any down time. All the rebar was marked directly on the roof slab so that the contractors could come immediately following and drill the holes. The slab was found to have 3 mats of rebar in it and missing all rebar was found to be a nearly impossible task. The information gathered however, allowed the contractors to minimize the rebar strikes when drilling.

Should you be in need of rebar, post-tension, or conduit locating, contact John Kessinger at 419.467.1444 or at: john.kessinger@gp-radar.com.

More than perhaps any other facilities, hospitals have a significant need to locate electrical conduits prior to any cutting or drilling. In a manufacturing facility or residential complex, cutting an electrical line can be a major inconvenience. In a hospital, cutting an electrical line can be deadly. With oxygen lines and other vital piping running through floors and walls, hospitals need to be certain that drilling a hole will not put any patients in danger.

At Community Hospital in Munster, Indiana, Berglund Construction is overseeing a renovation to the postpartum care unit. This renovation includes re-routing all of the plumbing, which means drilling new holes through the floor. Berglund has brought in Ground Penetrating Radar Systems of Gary to scan every proposed hole location to ensure that no electric conduit or other vital piping is cut. More than thirty holes have been drilled in this section, and not even a single piece of rebar has been cut accidentally.

Berglund Construction is one of GPRS’ more frequent customers in the Chicago area....

The pictures you see below are from a local attraction in Orlando, FL. The demolition contractor was removing a curb when they unknowingly broke a main feed line for the sprinkler system. This would normally not have been something difficult to remedy. However, they did not know where the shut-off valve was for the system. With this problem hundreds of gallons of water were wasted and the ground will have to be repaired prior to work continuing.

This is not an uncommon issue on job sites today. To cut cost contractors are performing site work, demolition and excavation without having a proper utility locate performed. Most argue that it is a private property and therefore the local “one-call” services will not perform the scan. This, however, is where Ground Penetrating Radar Systems really shines. We work in all conditions providing one of the most comprehensive and accurate utility locates available.

We can ensure you that your project will be safe and more cost effective before you start digging or excavating....
