Design and as-built plans are not always available when needed and a GPR survey could provide valuable information about the footings in a non-destructive and efficient way. The GPR profile below shows a concrete footing with reinforcement. The top of the footing was about 3' underneath a concrete

"The ground is snow covered, is it OK for the GPR survey?" This is a very common question from our clients. Ground penetrating radar (GPR) actually works well through snow or ice. Below is a GPR profile showing an underground storage tank (UST) with ground covered by about 4 to 6" of snow. The located UST was marked on-site as in the picture to the right. Although snow or ice on the ground surface wouldn't block GPR signals, it's not a favorable working condition for some typ
