Specialised Locating Services

We use ground-penetrating radar (GPR) technology to scan the ground before pinning a GPS coordinate to the corresponding target. We then offer a tailored, in-depth report on the surroundings, which is ideal for projects in built-up areas as it eliminates spray marking on the ground. We can also locate cables or pipes and plot them with GPS coordinates to add to the report for a comprehensive, all-encompassing solution. We also provide our clients with a permanent record of the coordinates should they be required for a later project.
