What is a Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) & How Does it Work?
Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is a non-invasive geophysical method used to investigate subsurface materials and structures without damaging the site. It uses high-frequency electromagnetic waves to produce images of the subsurface, which can be used to locate and map buried objects and materials. This technology has numerous applications, including utility detection, environmental studies, geology, and …
