Ground Penetrating Radar

The application of multi-frequency radar technology in the field civil engineering particularly in the detection of underground utilities, took first steps more than two decades ago. Since then, both hardware and software have undergone continuous advancements. This advanced technology delivers highly accurate results in locating underground utilities and processing the relative data.

For over ten years TST Engineering has specialized in non-invasive investigations and utilizes radar technology as the foundation for most of our services. The principle of radar operation is based on the radiation of electromagnetic waves that propagate in the soil under certain intensities and speeds. Depending on the type of material encountered, waves are reflected from the buried targets (pipes, structures, voids, etc.) with different levels of intensity and different speeds. These differences are converted into images by applying complex algorithms; these images are then interpreted by specialized technicians and reported into the project layout.

We utilise the most advanced multifrequency radar equipment for these studies, assisted by powerful and up-to date data processing software which are continually improved through close collaboration with our programming team to give the highest level of accuracy and reliability.
