What does ground penetrating radar detect?
Ground penetrating radar (GPR) detects a wide range of underground features without the need for excavation. It uses radar pulses to create a clear image of subsurface conditions, detecting:
- Utilities: Water, gas, electric, and telecom infrastructure
- Structures: Concrete slabs, rebar, foundations, and tanks
- Voids and ground changes: Cavities, sinkholes, changes in soil composition
GPR works through concrete, asphalt, soil, and rock. Its accuracy depends on ground conditions, but it gives the best results in dry, low-conductivity materials.

Ground penetrating radar hire FAQs
Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is a non-invasive technology that uses radar pulses to image below the surface of the ground. It helps detect and map objects, voids, structures, and changes in ground conditions without the need for trenching or drilling.
The depth that ground penetrating radar can reach depends on the ground material and the radar frequency used. The Tesmec 2.0 GPR has a maximum depth of 1,500mm, with the best results at up to 700mm.
Hiring ground penetrating radar gives you all the advantages of advanced underground scanning without the cost of buying equipment outright. You get:
- Up-to-date technology for accurate, real-time data
- Lower costs, paying only when you need it
- Flexibility to choose the right system for each project
- Expert support to help with setup and data interpretation
- Non-destructive scanning to safely detect utilities and structures
It’s a cost-effective, hassle-free way to survey below the surface with confidence.
Yes, GPRs can scan through both rock and concrete. They’re often used to inspect concrete floors, walls, and ceilings or rocky ground for things like steel reinforcement, hidden voids, or changes in material.
You can hire ground penetrating radar for as long as your project needs it. Hire terms are flexible – whether you want it for a single day, a week, or several months. This makes it ideal for anything from quick site checks to large construction jobs.
