GPR SCANNING
Ground Penetrating Radar
ScanPlus specializes in locating and mapping underground utility services
ScanPlus specializes in locating and mapping underground utility services, both metallic and non-metallic targets, using a combination of ground penetrating radar, electromagnetic (EM) and ferrous metal detection. We are able to locate water lines, drainage pipe, electrical wiring, gas, hydro, sewer, phone and cable lines.
We provide a reliable, non-intrusive geophysical investigation which will locate and target all underground utilities prior to your project, whether it be digging, trenching, conducting site assessments or mapping. GPS 3D modelling also available!
Societal Costs
from damage to subsurface INFRASTRUCTURES
Each year, the CCGA releases the DIRT report to outline damage events throughout Canada, many which have both an obvious and less obvious price to be paid by both those affected and society at large. The utility strikes recorded have their costs reflected as both direct costs (e.g., cost to repair damaged underground infrastructures) and indirect costs (e.g., loss of productivity due to downtime resulting from damages) including but not limited to:
- Service disruption
- Deployment of emergency services
- Evacuation
- Loss of product
- Environmental impact and mitigation
- Economic impact
- Work Delays
- Administrative and legal costs
- 20% Direct Costs
- 80% Indirect Costs
The cost of damage to underground infrastructure is estimated to be over $1 Billion per year.
Ask us if Stream C is right for your project
Whether you are in the initial planning stage or require GPS accurate maps for your project, Stream C may be the right tool for your job.
ScanPlus has one of only a few Stream C GPRs in North America. There are several benefits to using Stream C, over a conventional dual antenna GPR.
Stream C is significantly different in capabilities than other systems currently in use today. The Stream C has 34 cross polarized antennas versus the two antenna systems in use across North America. The Stream C collects 700 times more data per square metre than the two antenna systems (TAS). The standard use of TAS requires immediate interpretation by the operator (data is not recorded), with anomalies (utilities etc.) being denoted on the surface with marking paint. The TAS remains the cost-effective method for locating utilities pre-excavation but does not produce the high-definition imagery of the Stream C.

Environmental and Geotechnical Drilling
Clear area for bore holes and test pits to ensure safe excavation for drillers, consults and subsurface infrastructure. -
Construction
New excavations, trenches, installation of soil anchors, installation of new services such as water lines, storm, sanitary, gas, electrical, telecommunications and other subsurface infrastructure.
-
Municipality
Where you are installing new infrastructure, upgrading exiting services or making repairs, we will ensure that you know where it is safe to dig. -
Engineering
Identify subsurface infrastructure prior to planning new developments or capital projects. Knowing what is in the ground currently with an accurate location will help you plan for future projects. Ask us how Stream C is the perfect tool for pre-project planning.
