Underground Utility Detection Survey(GPR and Cable Detector)

Ground Penetrating Radar

GPR is a geophysical method which emits electromagnetic energy into the ground and it may be reflected or refracted back to the surface when the energy encounters a buried object or a boundary between materials having different permittivity. A receiving antenna can then record the variations in the return signal. GPR can detect buried objects up to 15m depth. Using GPR or other underground detection methods about 80% details can be identified. The diameter and depth of services can be identified at an accuracy of ± 150mm.

The MALÅ Easy Locator Pro Wide Range HDR series is focused on utility locating and mapping but can also be used for a range of different applications, such as:

  • Utility locating and mapping
  • Bedrock mapping
  • Road investigation
  • Underground Storage Tank (UST detection)
  • Sinkhole detection
  • Landfill studies
  • Cultural heritage mapping
  • General site investigations

Cable Detector:

Underground cable locator equipment contains advanced locating technologies optimized for the challenges of locating a particular buried utility.

Accurately locating and marking buried assets ensures minimum downtime during repair or maintenance activities. It also prevents damage which can be costly for customers.

RD7100 offers the power of Radio detection’s most advanced locating technologies, with each cable locator model optimized for a specific industry.

Powerful locating at your fingertips. Dynamic Overload Protection filters out interference, enabling use in electrically noisy environments such as near substations or overhead power lines.
