Underground Utility Survey: An Importance That Should Not Be Overlooked

Underground utilities, such as water pipes, electrical cables, and gas pipelines, play a vital role in daily life and infrastructure development. Accurately surveying and managing data regarding these systems not only helps reduce the risk of damage during construction or repair work but also enhances the efficiency and precision of planning and managing various projects.

Underground Utility Survey Services Using Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)

This method uses electromagnetic waves transmitted into shallow subsurface layers to collect data and generate 2D and 3D visual representations. The GPR device sends electrical pulses underground and detects their reflected signals when encountering buried materials. This enables precise identification of areas containing hidden objects or structures.

What This Service Is For

• Suitable for shallow subsurface investigations to support construction planning or to survey underground structures prior to installing groundwater monitoring wells.

Underground Utility Survey Services Using Water Jet

This method uses a high-pressure water pump to inject water down to the desired depth, helping to detect and locate underground utilities. Obstructions are detected when water flow is blocked, indicating the presence of buried objects. However, this method cannot determine the exact type or material of the underground object. For precise identification, physical excavation is required for verification.
