How Does a Ground Penetrating Radar Work?

Our ground penetrating radar system sends and receives radio waves to produce an image of what is beneath your surface, no matter the material. With both a transmitter and receiver in the single unit, this device only requires access to one side of a structure in order to create an accurate 3D model of your utilities. 

Not only does this limit the likelihood of you damaging underground pipes and cables—it also gives you all the information needed to properly plan your project from beginning to end. This can save you significant time money and hassle in the long run. Book an appointment with Dowd’s Pipe & Cable Locating today.
