GPRS Locates Utilities, Vault, & Tunnel at Youngstown State University - Youngstown, OH

Prior to installing a steam line at Youngstown State University, a construction contractor contacted GPRS to conduct a utility scan.

After arriving to the job-site, we scanned the area with both GPR and Radio Detection to locate all of the utility lines at the site. During the scan, we located utility lines such as electrical, communication, chilled water, steam, sanitary, storm, and fire. Next, in addition to locating the site’s utility lines, during the scan, we located an underground storage vault, and an underground tunnel (which were connected to each other). As we scanned the job-site, we marked the results of the scan onto the project surface with spray paint and flags. Then, once the scan was finished, since the contractor needed to have long term record of the scan results, we provided them with both a CAD overlay, and a Google Maps image (both of which depicted the results of the scan).

GPR and Radio Detection technologies are great for locating underground utility lines, vaults, tunnels, and other near-surface items prior to excavation. Of course, it is dangerous to dig without having a project area scanned first, and therefore, call GPRS prior to your next project, and we will help you keep your project on time, within budget, and most importantly, SAFE.

GPRS Locates Utilities at First Energy Stadium - Cleveland, OH

Ground Penetrating Radar Systems was contacted to conduct a utility scan just outside the First Energy Stadium in Cleveland, Ohio. The scope of the scan was to locate any underground utilities for a new pole location that needed to be installed. By using GPR and Radio Detection, a gas line, electrical lighting conduit, and communication duct bank were located in the area of concern. GPRS was able to designate areas to safely install new pole locations. GPR and Radio Detection is an accurate and effective way to locate underground utilities prior to excavation. Give us a call prior to your next project and we will find what’s below the ground.
