Category Archives: Ground Penetrating Radar Equipment

The following items of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) equipment are some of the items we use on a regular basis.

GPR scans can be undertaken using antennas with different central frequencies. The resolution and detail of GPR data increases with higher antenna frequencies; however the depth of penetration decreases. As a general rule, it is desirable to use the highest frequency possible, while still meeting the objectives of the survey. When undertaking site surveys we carry a range of antennas which may be suitable for the conditions likely to be encountered. This enables us to select the most suitable antenna. We often scan using multiple frequencies to ensure the best possible data.

2.0 GHz Palm Antenna

The Palm Antenna is the most compact GSSI antenna available. It measures only 104.5×91.5×154.7 mm enabling it to be used in very tight and confined spaces. It is particularly good at scanning into corners, against walls and around obstructions; it can scan to within 45mm of an obstruction. It is ideal for concrete investigation.

2.6 GHz High Resolution Concrete Antenna

The 2.6GHz antenna is the highest frequency antenna from GSSI. It offers a very high resolution with a depth penetration up to 350mm. It is most suited for the inspection of concrete structures to locate/map rebar (it is capable of resolving more than one layer of reinforcement), post tension cables and conduits.
