Regardless of what many people may think; construction and renovations typically have plenty of underground risks attached to them. Lands may have various hidden piping and old utility lines throughout, which, if left unidentified during any excavation or digging, add unnecessary risks, costs, and service interruptions.
Ground Penetrating Radar services prove invaluable in such (and many more) scenarios. By preemptively assessing existing situations, homeowners and contractors are able to avoid these unnecessary corrections and interruptions, thereby ensuring their work's efficiency and optimizing the work process, which saves money.
Why Consider Ground Penetrating Radar for Your Project?
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) utilizes radio waves rapidly fired into the ground and measuring reflections to identify structures, voids, and diverse material variations beneath the surface with a depth signature. Unlike older methods, that necessitated daylighting/potholing or otherwise excavating, GPR provides a non-invasive approach to various data collection. This is what makes it particularly advantageous for both large and small projects alike. Key advantages include:
Helping crews avoid unnecessary excavation and guesswork.
Offers quick and reliable information about underground conditions.
Supports planning and development before construction begins.
Cost Savings on Residential Projects
Outdoor renovations and excavation projects, large and small, such as a pool installation, adding new utility lines, or even landscaping, may seem upfront until something hidden is damaged during subsurface work. This could be a water line, a small power line, or other utilities placed underground.
Therefore, it is a vital service to apply to your next project. Using GPR services to identify potential issues and prevent dangerous scenarios of hitting a previously unknown utility. Such a proactive approach can and will effectively resolve or prevent issues and inconveniences before the arise or escalate.
Cost Benefits for Commercial or Large Projects
The financial risks associated with larger infrastructure and construction projects are exponentially more substantial. Repair or project costs become astronomical once a project must halt to address and repair damaged utilities or require a comprehensive redesign.
Utility Locating as a Money Saver
GPR utility locating is a vital and needed application of GPR. It's widely known and accepted that accidental strikes of utility lines cannot only disrupt operations but also generate substation repair costs and safety concerns.
By having these lines identified prior to digging, both contractors and homeowners alike can plan their large and small projects with fewer surprises. This makes utility locating a cost effective step in just about any project.
