Ground Penetrating Radars
GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) systems enable operators to detect underground utilities, particularly non-conductive pipes and ducts, using high-frequency Radar. When locating underground utilities, GPR can be a valuable complement to electromagnetic cable and pipe locators.
​
GPR allows users to create depth slices and review their locate path on screen while on site, and selectively enhance shallow/small, medium depth/size, or deep/large targets using the proprietary technology.
As one of the most affordable GPR utility locating tools in the market today, the LMX100 completes the locator’s toolbox, offering a more complete picture of the underground infrastructure. With a simple, easy-to-use interface it also offers the perfect balance of depth penetration and high resolution for accurate locating.
The LMX® family is a non-destructive Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) that can locate utilities that cannot be located using traditional methods (e.g. plastic pipes or utilities that contain broken tracer wires).
Conquest 100 Concrete Scanner allows you to get rapid, reliable results and reduce the need for destructive testing. It is a light, portable device that provides a fast, non-invasive method to gain accurate insights of objects below the concrete surface, even on a curved surface or column.
​
Conquest® 100 GPR increases safety by detecting rebar, post-tension cables, metallic and non-metallic conduits as well as current-carrying wires embedded in concrete. Once your concrete scan is complete, the system allows you to e-mail information directly from the field in the form of a Wi-Fi mini-report. With the Conquest® 100 Enhanced, you also have the option to add the powerful optional EKKO_Project™ Software to view your data and make client-ready reports in minutes once back in the office.

-
Forensics & Archaeology: Law enforcement uncover buried caches of drugs, money, weapons and clandestine graves. Archaeologists image underground artifacts, tombs and the foundations of ancient structures
-
Glaciology, Ice & Snow: Measure the thicknesses and image the internal structure of glaciers and ice sheets for polar ice-cap and climate change research. Measure snow depth for water resource management and ice thickness for ice road safety.
-
Structure assessment: Assess the interior of concrete and pavement for asset management and maintenance planning
ICEMAP
Continuous, real-time ice thickness measurements to ensure safety on winter ice roads.
​
Winter ice roads and bridges are a common transportation link in the northern regions. The Sensors & Software IceMap GPR system is designed to measure the ice thickness on these temporary, yet vital, links and ensure the safety of travelers using these icy roads and bridges.
The GPR-based ice thickness sensor is housed in a toboggan that is towed across the ice surface behind a truck or snowmobile. The ice thickness data is sent wirelessly from the sensor to the operator’s computer and displayed in real-time as a cross-sectional image.
The current ice thickness under the sensor is displayed numerically and graphically. As well, the minimum and maximum ice depth values for the current line are displayed. An alarm sounds when the ice drops below the user-defined minimum ice thickness value.
Rapid data acquisition enables the unit to be towed at speeds up to 80 km per hour. Low power requirements make it possible for a 12V battery to power the system.
SPIDAR Multi-channel GPR
The SPIDAR® family of GPRs enable networking of multiple channels and multiple frequencies for a wide variety of applications. SPIDAR® allows Noggin and pulseEKKO GPR units to be interconnected providing a fully customizable multi-channel GPR platform.
The latest generation of SPIDAR® simplifies the hardware required to connect the GPRs and provides new functionality that enhances data collection and flexibility of the system. The newest generation of SPIDAR® NICs (Network Interface Controllers) enable:
Three new NICs (Network Interface Controllers) to network GPR systems together are now available.
-
Full Wi-Fi enabled data collection – meaning no cables are required between the GPR and the control device (ethernet cables can be used instead of Wi-Fi if desired)
-
Use any device with Wi-Fi (or ethernet) and a compatible browser to control the GPR and view data collection
-
All data is stored directly on the NIC so no data collection or data loss occurs if the connection to the control device is interrupted
-
Advanced timing control to ensure no interference between GPR systems
-
No reduction in speed when running two channels compared to running a single channel
-
Daisy-chain NICs to run any number of GPR systems simultaneously; build multi-frequency or multi-channel array systems
-
Supports odometer input for triggering & positioning and optional external GPS
-
Data can be downloaded via ethernet cable, Wi-Fi or USB
The SPIDAR® architecture provides you the flexibility to build any GPR configuration that you need for your project.
The LMX200 provides unprecedented insights and target confidence to detect traditionally non-locatable subsurface features such as:
-
