In this case, we feel a picture tells a thousand words! The owners of this property were having a fence installed. Needless to say, they did not carry out underground service location prior to digging and hit a water pipe. It was a very wasteful and costly mistake.

Ground-penetrating radar is an efficient and effective way to locate underground services and sub-surface structures. Digging or drilling without confirming the location and depth of services is a gamble.

A specialist Ground-penetrating radar is required for penetrating concrete slabs and surfaces. The system we use at Australian Underground Search  features ultra-wideband detection for unparalleled sub-surface evaluation of concrete slabs, bridges, buildings, pavements, and other concrete structures. Using Stepped Frequency Continuous Wave (SFCW) technology, GPR Live real-time concrete scanning covers multiple individual GPR antennas ranging from 0.2 to 4.0GHz. This versatility allows fast integrity assessment, as-built verification, single-side thickness measurement, and hit prevention to mark cutting and safe core drilling locations accurately.
