GPR Surveys
Get in TouchAt Peterborough Surveys, we offer GPR Surveys to accurately locate and map subsurface structures, utilities and anomalies . Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR) uses radar pulses to create visual models of underground features, depth changes and potential hazards.
Our specialists deploy advanced equipment suitable for diverse applications, from construction and archaeology to utility detection and environmental studies. Whether you need precise imagery of subsurface features or a detailed analysis for planning and construction, our team delivers comprehensive solutions.

How Much Do GPR Surveys Cost?
GPR Surveys typically cost between £300 and £1,500 per project, depending on area size and complexity. The specific cost hinges on factors such as the survey area's dimensions, the detail required, and the site's accessibility.
For instance, a survey of an urban construction site with numerous obstacles may require more precise scanning, thus affecting the price. Considerations like the type of subsurface material, whether soil, concrete, or asphalt, also play a role in determining costs.
We use advanced GPR equipment calibrated for different survey depths and conditions, which can impact the pricing. Larger projects or those demanding extensive detail may have varied prices, especially if they require multiple scans or time-consuming data analysis.

What Are the Benefits of GPR Surveys?
At Peterborough Surveys, our GPR Surveys offer a range of benefits:
Non-Invasive Investigation: GPR provides a non-destructive method to analyse subsurface conditions with minimal environmental impact. This avoids the need for excavation, preserving the integrity of historical sites.
Versatile Applications: Suitable for archaeological, geological, construction, and utility projects. From mapping underground utilities to assessing foundation conditions, GPR adapts to diverse project needs.
High Accuracy: Delivers precise data for planning and risk assessment. Using frequencies between 1 MHz to 1 GHz, our equipment ensures detailed subsurface profiles.
Timely Results: Fast data collection and processing reduce project delays. Typical GPR surveys can be completed within a few days, depending on site size and complexity, meeting tight project deadlines.

How Does GPR Surveying Work?
Our GPR Survey process involves several key steps that ensure comprehensive results:
Initial Consultation: We discuss project needs and define objectives, considering specific constraints and soil conditions.
Site Preparation: Clear the survey area of obstacles and ensure safety, complying with regulations such as BS 5930 for site investigation.
Radar Scanning: Use GPR equipment, such as the Mala CX series, to send radar pulses into the ground, capturing data across various depths for diverse materials like concrete, asphalt, and soil.
Data Analysis: Process collected data using specialized software, such as GPR-SLICE, to generate precise subsurface maps, identifying features to depths commonly ranging from one to six metres.
Reporting: Provide detailed reports with findings and recommendations, adhering to industry standards like PAS 128 for utility surveys, to inform planning and mitigate risks.
This thorough process ensures that our clients receive accurate subsurface insights to guide their projects effectively.
