How much does a ground penetrating radar survey cost?

Most systems fall in the $15,000 to $50,000 range. GPR systems can be rented for about $1,000 per week and a $300 mobilization charge. GPR surveys can be conducted by contractors with costs ranging from $1,000 to $2,000 per day depending on the amount of interpretation needed and if a report is required.

How far does ground penetrating radar?

GPR can reach depths of up to 100 feet (30 meters) in low conductivity materials such as dry sand or granite. Moist clays, shale, and other high conductivity materials, may attenuate or absorb GPR signals, greatly decreasing the depth of penetration to 3 feet (1 meter) or less.

What can ground penetrating radar detect?

Ground penetration radar (GPR) is most commonly used for locating buried objects such as tanks, pipes, and drums, as well as shallow unexploded ordnance (UXO). It can also be used to map the depth of a shallow water table, identify soil horizons and the bedrock subsurface, and demarcate trench boundaries.

How much does GPR services cost?

A GPR survey can be done at a cost of $1,000-2,000 per day, which means one can cover an entire site with GPR for less than the cost of a single borehole.

How do you hide ground penetrating radar?

Just like a sheet of paper right in front of your eyes can totally block your view, a thin layer of electrically conductive materials can totally block the GPR view. For example, sandy and silty soils are relatively “good” for GPR while clayey soils are not.

Can ground penetrating radar be used from the air?

Ground-penetrating radar antennas are generally in contact with the ground for the strongest signal strength; however, GPR air-launched antennas can be used above the ground.

Do police use ground penetrating radar?

One of the most innovative uses of technology in law enforcement today is ground-penetrating radar, which uses remote-sensing technology to provide non-invasive site investigation. However, with ground penetrating radar police are now able to search vast areas of rough terrain in hopes of locating a gravesite.
