New and Innovative GPR Technology: Can Help You Find What's Underneath Your Property

Hydro Tech Environmental has performed thousands of GPR (ground penetrating radar) surveys around the Boroughs of New York and some areas of New Jersey. This technology is used to determine the location of various subsurface structures including underground storage tanks, drums and utilities. Useful in various applications, GPR can be used in environmental audits, site assessments, remedial investigations and feasibility studies. GPR is also used in construction/engineering applications and to evaluate active and inactive industrial sites.

The GPR antenna is moved across a surface as it transmits electromagnetic signals into the subsurface. It then receives the reflections, which are amplified, processed, and displayed in real-time on a graphical recorder and color video monitor. The GPR data is then recorded and saved for later playback and viewing.
