GPR Scanner: Subsurface Exploration Without Digging

At Vister, we use cutting-edge technology to look beneath the surface without disturbing it. The GPR scanner (Ground Penetrating Radar) is a geophysical tool that allows the detection and mapping of hidden structures underground using high-frequency electromagnetic waves.

How does it work?

GPR emits energy pulses that penetrate the ground. When these waves encounter materials with different properties (such as pipes, rocks, cavities, or archaeological remains), they reflect back and are captured by the scanner. The result is a cross-sectional image of the subsurface, almost like an X-ray of the ground.

Key Applications

• Locating buried utilities (pipes, cables, conduits)

• Archaeological studies without excavation

• Evaluation of concrete structures and pavements

• Geology and environmental studies: detection of aquifers, faults, and sediment layers

• Forensic investigations and locating buried objects

Advantages of GPR

• Non-destructive method – No drilling or disturbing the ground

• High resolution – Detailed real-time images

• Versatility – Works in urban, rural, wet, or dry soils

• Safety and efficiency – Reduces risks in construction and excavation

With the GPR scanner, Vister offers a deep and precise look at the subsurface, ideal for projects requiring reliable information without physical intervention. If your construction, study, or investigation needs to know what lies beneath, this technology is your best ally.
