Ground penetrating radar (GPR) equipment manufacturer Geophysical Survey Systems, Inc. (GSSI) (Nashua, New Hampshire) recently announced the release of its UtilityScan Pro, representing the latest addition to the company’s popular UtilityScan GPR product line.
UtilityScan systems are the industry standard for efficiently identifying and marking the location and depth of subsurface utilities, including gas, sewer, and communication lines.
Featuring the SIR 4000 control unit, GSSI says the UtilityScan Pro delivers the configurability and flexibility to address a wide range of utility applications.
This advanced GPR system is ideal for locating gas, communications, sewer lines, and other metallic and nonmetallic targets, including underground storage tanks and PVC pipes.
The UtilityScan Pro also allows for real-time data collection, with a backup cursor and cross-hair cursor. This enables the user to accurately locate targets.
Additionally, the new GPR system enhances flexibility by allowing users to utilize multiple different techniques to calculate the depth of targets. It integrates with the global positioning system (GPS), and it has the ability to both store and replay data.
In addition to utility detection, the UtilityScan family of GPR solutions is configurable to the needs of nondestructive testing (NDT) and environmental applications, including bridge deck assessment and concrete scanning.
With a number of different cart and antenna configurations, the UtilityScan Pro can be tailored to meet a wide range of needs. All UtilityScan Pro configurations deliver high-quality data and are rugged enough to withstand years of field usage, GSSI says. A two-year warranty is included.
