Verification of underground utilities using GPR

Abstract

In our day to day construction practices, some of the biggest set backs are observed when an underground utility is damaged. This leads to a tremendous delay in work until the utilities are mended and is not desirable to dig the ground for every utility. Thus, a smart technology is required to detect their location by Non Destructive Testing. Ground Penetrating Radar is a geophysical method of soil exploration which uses electromagnetic waves to provide an image of the subsurface which can be used to identify the utilities underground
