Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)

Department: 
Engineering Sciences

Ground Penetrating Radar or GPR provides a set of nondestructive techniques that are used to solve problems such as:

  • concrete structure evaluation for reinforcement and flaws
  • locating underground utilities such as pipes, manhole covers
  • subsurface profiling
  • forensic applications

MME's GPR Specialists are among the very best in the business, having successfully completed hundreds of projects all across the US and overseas. GPR is fast becoming the replacement for concrete structure evaluation by traditional radiography or X-ray. The GPR technique has certain advantages over traditional X-ray, including:

  • GPR requires access to only one side of the slab
  • Poses no health risks or hazard to personnel or property, hence it is used in schools, hospitals, and offices without any need for special arrangements
  • The GPR process is quicker, and costs less per area foot-print than radiography
