A GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) survey is a non-invasive geophysical method used to investigate the subsurface of the earth. It uses radar waves to image and map underground structures, objects, or conditions. The radar system sends high-frequency radio waves into the ground, and the waves reflect back to the surface when they encounter different materials or interfaces, such as buried objects, soil layers, or groundwater.
GPR surveys are commonly used in various fields, including:
- Archaeology: To locate buried artifacts or structures.
- Construction: To assess the condition of concrete, detect rebar, or locate voids.
- Environmental studies: To map soil layers or groundwater contamination.
- Utility detection: To locate underground utilities like pipes and cables.
GPR can be used in various terrains, and the data collected can be visualized as a cross-sectional image of the subsurface.
