What is GPR Scanning?

Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a non-destructive method using high-frequency electromagnetic waves to detect and map subsurface structures. It provides accurate imaging of utilities, underground structures, voids, rebar, and geological features, making it essential for applications like utility detection, concrete assessment, archaeological investigations, and environmental studies. South East Scanning uses advanced GPR technology to deliver precise and reliable results, tailored to client needs.

Our GPR Scanning Services

Utility Detection & Mapping

Accurately locate underground utilities such as water pipes, gas lines, and electrical cables to prevent accidental strikes during excavation.

Concrete Imaging & Assessment

Assess concrete structures, detect rebar, voids, cracks, and defects, providing essential data for renovation or construction projects.

Environmental & Engineering Applications

GPR supports geological studies, soil composition analysis, groundwater investigations, and more.

Frequently Asked Questions

Concrete scanning helps detect hidden elements such as rebar, pipes, and electrical conduits before drilling, cutting, or coring, preventing damage and ensuring safety.

It sends electromagnetic pulses into the ground, and when they bounce back from underground objects, we can use that information to create a detailed map of what’s below.

GPR is super accurate, non-destructive, and reliable. It helps you avoid costly mistakes and disruptions while giving you clear, actionable data.

It’s great for spotting underground utilities (like pipes and cables), rebar in concrete, voids, cracks, and even geological features like soil layers or groundwater.

GPR typically scans up to 30 meters, though it works best in dry, sandy soils. If you’re dealing with wet or clay soils, depth can be a bit limited, but we’ll let you know how it’ll work for your specific site.

Absolutely! GPR is completely safe and non-invasive, so it won’t disrupt ongoing work or affect your project in any way.

Evan Beattie
Aidan and his team completed a dial-before-you-dig request at our property at the Glasshouse Mountains on the Sunshine Coast. He was able to locate several buried assets that were not on plans, giving us peace of mind with regards to our renovation. Highly professional and well priced. I can highly recommend Aidan and his team for any locating or scanning works you may require.
