Ground Penetrating Radar Imaging in Geelong
Are you an engineering company? Are you thinking of any new plant to set up? Do you need to check the subsurface before finalising the plant structure?
Are you an independent or government archaeologist? Do you need to study the soil and collect the data?
Are you an environmentalist? Do you need to study the condition of the soil and make a report to take any informed decision about any structure or set up?
If the answers of the above questions are in affirmation, Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) imaging service provided by GeoScan can be your ideal solution.
What is Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)?
In simpler words, it is a geophysical technique to image objects, changes, voids or cracks or any other activity being taken place under the surface. It is widely used to image rock, soil, ice, fresh water, pavements and structures. The areas that can benefit the most by Ground Penetrating Radar imaging include engineering, geology, environmental studies, including, archaeology.

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.
GeoScan is not only expert in deciphering these movements.With the object mapping and GIS surveying using GPR equipment, we also produce a comprehensive report on our findings.
Wide Range of Scanning:
Apart from already mentioned areas, there are other areas in which Ground Penetrating Radar imaging can be immensely helpful. They are:
- Underground utilities (non metallic services)
- Underground storage tanks
- Buried concrete slabs (reinforced and non reinforced concrete)
