Great Lakes GPR is honored to have been a part of the environmental process by conducting a Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) Survey at the Darling Building Supply Co facility.  Great Lakes GPR was contacted to conduct a Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) Survey for the purposes of; locating subsurface features including a known former UST. As a result of using the application of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), Great Lakes GPR was able to detect the existence of a former UST prior to the sale of the property at the Darling Building Supply Co facility.

​Ground penetrating radar (GPR) offers the means to detect embedded or hidden objects within the near subsurface. This non-invasive method uses electromagnetic energy to detect reflected signals from subsurface structures. GPR can be used in a variety of media including concrete, brick, asphalt, and soil. GPR can detect objects, changes in material, as well as voids and fractures.
