Georadar services

Find a utility

 

During a utility search, we aim to find as many underground utilities as possible, whether they are plastic pipes or metallic cables / pipes.
With this method of locating, there is no need to dig up the ground and the risk of the backhoe cutting a cable/pipe during the digging process is simply eliminated. Our company uses a variety of ground penetrating radars and electromagnetic locators for these surveys.

 

Excavation

 

Underground cavity excavation can occur in several areas. This is caused, among other things, by weather factors, including rainwater. One of the main areas of application for georadar is cavitation. In areas where cavities have occurred (whether under pavement or in animal burrows, e.g. badger tunnels), the depth and extent of the cavity can often be clearly seen on the radar image.

 

Road structure investigation

 

Hungary’s road network is about 33,000 km long. Increased vehicle traffic is a tough challenge for our roads, which need periodic maintenance. Multi-channel ground penetrating radars, when mounted on a vehicle, can cover a large area in a short time, highlighting the thickness of individual layers of the road structure, as well as hollowing, waterlogging and other defects.

 

Concrete structure research

 

 

Archaeological mapping

 

Archaeological excavations can be greatly aided by georadar, which can cover a large area and highlight areas where archaeological buried features may occur. Radar surveys can delineate the ruins of ancient cities and their extent. Our geophysicists have a wealth of experience in processing the results of archaeological excavations across Europe.

 

Shallow geological mapping

 

 

Bridge structure analysis

 

Analysis of the structure of existing bridges, knowledge of their stratigraphy and monitoring studies of bridges greatly facilitate the decision of the operating companies as to whether bridges may need to be repaired, strengthened or completely replaced and a new one built instead. Ground penetrating radars can collect high quality data to support decision making.

 

 

Buried artefact research

 

This is of increasing importance today, as data is not always available. Applications include archaeological research, where buried tanks can be excavated, but also graves in cemeteries.
