Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)

Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a non-destructive electromagnetic geophysical method that emits high-frequency radar pulses into the ground and records the reflections from subsurface features such as soil layers, voids, utilities, rebar, and geological contacts. These reflections form radargrams, which, when processed into profiles, depth (time) slices, or 3D visualizations, provide detailed views of the shallow subsurface. GPR is particularly effective in low-conductivity environments such as dry sand, concrete, or rock, where penetration depths up to ~15 m are possible; however, signal attenuation in conductive media like clay can significantly limit its reach.
