Ground Penetrating Radar Investigation in Geelong

Plan with confidence, uncover what lies beneath, and make informed decisions with Geoscan’s Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) investigation services.

Whether you’re an engineering firm finalising plant designs, an archaeologist mapping subsurface features, or an environmental consultant assessing soil conditions, our GPR solutions deliver accurate, non-invasive subsurface data. Geoscan provides clear, actionable insights to support safer construction, smarter planning, and reliable reporting.

What is Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)?

Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a geophysical technique that allows you to see beneath the surface, detecting objects, voids, cracks, or changes in material without excavation. It is widely used to investigate rock, soil, ice, freshwater, pavements, and built structures.

At Geoscan, our GPR services provide accurate, non-invasive subsurface data, giving you clear insights to plan, design, and make informed decisions. Industries that benefit most include engineering, geology, environmental studies, and archaeology. Whether you’re finalising a plant layout, studying soil conditions, or mapping archaeological sites, Geoscan delivers reliable, actionable results to support safer construction, smarter planning, and comprehensive reporting.

How Geoscan leverages this technique?

Geoscan is efficient to leverage this scientific technique to the fullest. We have the equipment that facilitates electronic depth readings. In order to take full advantage of Ground Penetrating Radar imaging technique, we have the latest equipment that:

is safe and do not get affected by any interference
is not radio active
is operated by electromagnetic signals
omits low milliamp signals
does not harm adjacent areas or soil

GPR Object, Profile and Heat Mapping

At Geoscan, our Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) services go beyond simple detection. We provide detailed insights into the subsurface, helping clients identify objects, anomalies, and changes in material without excavation. Our services are ideal for engineering, construction, environmental studies, and archaeological projects.

Our capabilities include:

  • Heatmapping of anomalies such as rocks, voids, or buried debris

  • Profiling road layers to assess depth, composition, and integrity

  • Oval depth mapping for underground pipes, conduits, and utilities

  • Accurate detection of buried pipes, cables, and other subsurface features

  • Delivery of survey-grade data suitable for CAD or GIS integration

With Geoscan’s subsurface mapping, you gain a complete picture of what lies beneath, enabling smarter planning, safer excavation, and informed decision-making.

While providing Ground Penetrating Radar services in Geelong and regional Victoria, Geoscan also leverages its unique device called the time triggering method. This method allows us to decipher ground disturbances taking place beneath the surface due to water leaks or any other subsurface instability

Wide Range of Scanning

Other areas in which Ground Penetrating Radar imaging can be immensely helpful, are:

Underground utilities (non metallic services)
Buried concrete slabs (reinforced and non reinforced concrete)
Concrete footing investigation
Valve boxes and taps
Tree root assessment

Location of underground voids and ground disturbance

Underground storage tanks
Footpath and road subsurface investigation
Buried pit covers
Underground voids or disturbances
Sub surface investigation such as detecting presence of rock, bedrock, soil layering and changes in soil density

How it works?

You do not need to connect GPR to any services like underground pipe or cable locators. The technique gives real time imaging on a mobile system. This system can be rolled out on a rough terrain to decipher any objects or activity underground. The technique even gives accurate information about the sizes and depths of objects under the surface.
