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.

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.
