Ground penetrating radars are used to locate non-conductive materials and installations. Rather than using electromagnetic equipment, which only works with conductive materials, ground penetrating radar systems still use electromagnetic radiation but do so in the microwave band.

When applied to the ground, these signals act as any other radar, picking up the waves and using them to determine the location of whatever’s been hit. Using a ground penetrating radar helps the team at On Point Locating detect pipes, tanks or services that do not have metallic components. Since utilities are sometimes made of non-metal materials—such as concrete, nylon or plastic—it’s essential to have an alternative locating technology.
At On Point Locating, we use the most effective technologies available to deliver the most accurate and comprehensive results for our clients in the commercial industry. Performing a ground-penetrating radar survey offers many benefits, laying the groundwork for a smooth process from start to finish. Whether assessing the environment for soil contamination and geological features that could impact construction or subsurface imaging of voids or buried objects, it’s an essential step in any large-scale building project.
If you’re looking for the best pipe, cable or utility services, we use both electromagnetic and ground radar survey systems for the most comprehensive and accurate results possible.
