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.

Applications of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)
  • Utility location
  • Conduit location 
  • Slab thickness 
  • Underground storage tank location 
  • Drum location 
  • Duct bank location 
  • Septic system location 
  • Structural boundary surveys 
  • Soil interface survey 
  • Detection of bridge deterioration 
  • Site assessment for Phase II investigation 
  • Water table mapping 
  • Shallow bathymetry investigation 
  • Engineering site investigations 
  • Hydrogeological investigations 
  • Detection of sub-surface cavities
