LiveLocates are the leading provider of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) services across the South Coast, Snowy Mountains, Snowy Valley, Canberra, and surrounding regions.
We use state of the art technology, highly trained personnel, and industry experience to successfully identify and locate underground utilities and assets enabling your projects to proceed safely and without incurring unexpected costs and delays.
Operated by our Dial Before You Dig Certified Locators, ground penetrating radar (GPR) is one of the most innovative ways of identifying utilities and other assets that may lie beneath the ground. Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is most used for locating and tracing non-conductive underground utilities and assets that may be harder to trace with more conventional methods. Utilities made of polyurethane, concrete, and nylon pipes can regularly be found through ground penetrating radar (GPR) scanning.
Utilising ground penetrating radar (GPR), you’ll be provided with clear information on the location of the utility and its depth, thereby reducing the need to guess this information and potentially avoiding costly and dangerous excavation that could damage the asset. The benefit to this service includes:
It’s important to remove the guesswork from the equation and use adequate ground penetrating radar (GPR) services to see where your hazards may lie before starting any drilling, cutting, or excavation operations – Get us to Locate before you Excavate!
Locating utilities and assets beneath the earth is the essential first step to safely commence any excavation or non-destructive digging project. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) technology is used in circumstances when you believe there are assets beneath the ground that need to be avoided during an excavation or ground penetration activity. Without knowing the exact location of these materials, it is not safe to go ahead with the planned excavation – not to mention, accidentally hitting underground utilities or assets can be extremely dangerous to your crew on site, the public and an expensive mistake to rectify.

The most frequent organisations that benefit from ground penetrating radar (GPR) scanning are:
Our state-of-the-art equipment can detect buried utilities and assets allowing us to provide you with detailed information on where you plan to carry out construction and excavation activities. Ground penetrating radar (GPR) scanning equipment omits energy waves in the microwave band into the soil to record the echoes received by objects below the surface. Using two main pieces of equipment, a transmitter and an antenna, the radar machine measures variations in pulses received back from the objects which are translated into images providing our experienced and certified locators with information on what is buried beneath the surface.
The accuracy of the images received by the scanner depends on several factors. Ground penetrating radar (GPR) systems work by receiving rapid, accurate radar echoes from objects buried deep below the surface. When this transmission is interfered with by soil types or moisture in the soil, the results can be affected.
LiveLocates rely on industry-leading, innovative ground penetrating radar (GPR) technology that operates with a high level of accuracy. Your certified locator will take steps to ensure you’re given the most accurate representation of the excavation area.
