Great Lakes GPR is honored to have been a part of the construction process by conducting a Utility Location Survey at the DTE Energy facility. Great Lakes GPR was contacted to conduct a Utility Location Survey for the purposes of; locating utilities and any subsurface features. As a result of using the application of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), Great Lakes GPR was able to detect the existence of subsurface utilities prior to the excavation of a 60 foot trench at the DTE Energy 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.
