Ground Penetrarting Radar
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a method in geophysics that uses an electromagnetic wave source in the form of radar. UTSI Electronics developed the GPR survey tool called GroundVue. Most of their systems use twin arrayed antennas to reduce noise. They use very broad band frequency spectrum to produce a high signal to noise ratio, resulting in better depth penetration for the same frequency of antenna & good signal clarity. GPRs are available for purchase or hire and we can field experienced survey teams or recommend a reliable survey provider from our clients. The company provides training in GPR techniques, both for beginners and for more experienced users.
Adaptability:
Mix and match antennas to your own specification. Use the same antennas on a trolley, on a vehicle, or hand-towed. Use the same system for different applications.
Quality Imaging:
- Broad band frequency response to reduce ringing.
- High dynamic range and low noise to aid detection of weaker signals.
- Twin arrayed antennas to improve the signal to clutter ratio.
- Fully screened antennas to reduce EMC (interference).
- Internal data stacking within the reciever – much more efficient than data stacking in post processing.
In collaboration with UTSI ELECTRONICS UK, we act as exclusive agents providing GPR Instruments. Information about the product can be seen in the following brochure:

TriVue
Advantages:
- Multi-frequency Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) system comprising three bistatic bow tie antenna oriented around an identical common mid-point,
- Housed within a light weight rugged casing.
- The antenna also houses all electronics enabling data to be recorded to a rugged tablet or laptop running Windows OS (XP to 10) via wired or wireless network.
- An internal Li- Ion battery can run the system for up to 10 hours with the option of connecting an external battery for extended operation.
- Integrated GPS/GPR (much faster data collection).
- Wi-FI operation.
- Analytical software – the ReflexW package – is also available. Detail on request.
- Groundvue data is also compatible with Roadscanners, GPR-Slice and Geoscanners software
Application:
- With a bandwidth of 125MHz-2GHz the Trivue is ideally suited for utility detection, ground engineering projects, environmental applications, and road and railway ballast assessment.
- The three antenna: 250MHz, 500MHz and 1GHz central frequency bowtie- mean the system analyses the subsurface in great detail and ensures an operator is equipped for all eventualities.
GroundVue 100
Advantages:
- Monostatic shielded 100MHz central frequency antenna.
- The Antenna utilises a real time analogue to digital converter to provide unbeatable signal to noise at long two way time travels
- The Real time A//D enables the system to stack 7500 times per trace, giving a total of 24 bits data width, and improving the signal to noise ratio of late arrivals. the system has been designed for environmental studies and brownfield site investigations..
- Integrated GPS/GPR (much faster data collection).
- Bluetooth
- Analytical software – the ReflexW package – is also available. Detail on request.
