Ground-Penetrating Radar & Subsurface Investigation

GPR scanning locates rebar, conduit, utilities, voids, and subsurface anomalies before drilling, cutting, or excavation. Findings are GPS-referenced and integrate with GIS, LiDAR, survey, and CAD data. GPR results depend on soil, material, depth, moisture, antenna frequency, access, and site conditions — we explain those limitations up front.

Capabilities

  • GPR scanning
  • Concrete scanning
  • Utility-location support
  • Rebar and conduit detection
  • Subsurface anomaly mapping
  • Void investigation
  • Slab scanning
  • Pre-drilling and pre-cutting scans
  • Archaeological-support scanning where legally appropriate
  • Pavement and infrastructure scanning
  • Data collection
  • Interpretation coordination
  • GPS-referenced findings
  • Integration with GIS, LiDAR, survey, and CAD data
  • Final mapping through qualified specialists

GPR findings depend on soil, material, depth, moisture, antenna frequency, access, and site conditions. Regulated work is performed by, reviewed by, stamped by, or subcontracted to appropriately licensed professionals when required by Hawaiʻi law.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can GPR find everything underground?

No technology can. GPR performance depends on soil conductivity, moisture, target depth and material, antenna frequency, and site access. We disclose the confidence and limitations of every scan.
