GPRS Inc Locates Underground Storage Tank
- Georgetown, South Carolina

A local electrical contractor working on modifications on a local hospital property in Georgetown, South Carolina recently contacted GPRS to help locate utilities and assist with the detection and removal of an underground storage tank using GPR. Grid scans with the 400 MHz ground penetrating radar antenna were performed to ensure and locate the main electrical line feed from the light poles to the main panel box. GPRS also utilizes a radio detection device which helps in locating live electrical power and communication lines. Ground penetrating radar is an accurate and effective way to help locate underground utilities and the detection of Underground Storage Tanks as well as any other material that may be underground.

Conduits and Reinforcing Steel Locating at Georgetown Hospital - Georgetown, SC

Ground Penetrating Radar Systems was recently contacted to locate reinforcing steel and conduits in an elevated slab at the Georgetown Hospital in historic Georgetown, SC. The equipment used in the scan was a 1600MHz antenna capable of identifying objects at a depth of 8-12 inches, and a SIR-3000 computer system.

While on site, GPRS Project Manager, James Ross, scanned 3, 3’x3’ location to identify any anomalies in the slab that would indicate reinforcing steel and/or conduits moving through the drillers anticipated core location. After further investigation at the suspected sites we were able to determine that there were conduits and reinforcing steel traveling through the site that the drillers had initially planned to core. Not only could we identify the obstructions, move their cores to safer location, but we also provided accurate depths of each obstruction.
