GPR

Cowal Surveying Services have recently purchased a GSSI UtilityScan system.  We decided on GSSI equipment as they are obviously a market leader and can boast a long history in connection with GPR technology.  The following details have been supplied from GSSI on the utility scan system.  Further information and a PDF download can be found at :-http://www.geophysical.com/UtilityScan.htm.

Quickly and Accurately Locate Metallic and Non-Metallic Utilities
UtilityScan™ is the most accurate GPR system on the market for the non-destructive location of all subsurface utilities. With UtilityScan, users can immediately locate and mark buried service utilities like gas, electric and sewer lines. This system can also easily detect depth and location of objects like water mains, underground storage tanks, terra cotta pipes, tree roots and voids. UtilityScan penetrates manmade or natural surfaces, returning data with unsurpassed quality. You can trust your results with GSSI’s powerful antennas.

At the core of UtilityScan is the powerful SIR-3000 digital control system. This revolutionary data acquisition system is the first to incorporate a full-color transflective display screen for clear, easy to read data images, a removable compact flash data memory for easy transfer of data, and an internal sealed battery compartment within a rugged metal casing. The SIR-3000 can also be utilized with all GSSI antennas. As a result, UtilityScan can quickly be converted into our other products such as “BridgeScan” or “StructureScan” with ease. GSSI is the only GPR company that offers this unique flexibility.
