Radiodetection RD1500 Enhanced Ground Penetrating Radar GPR External Topcon GPS

The detection and mapping of buried utilities is a major application area for ground penetrating (GPR) technology. Using radio waves, the Radiodetection RD1500 offers a rapid way to accurately locate down to 27 feet below ground all metallic and non-metallic utilities as well as other targets such as underground storage tanks, splice pits, and buried manholes. GPR complements traditional electromagnetic (EM) methods of pipe and cable locating by providing a complete underground picture. Understanding where and when a particular approach is most cost-effective comes from experience, business practice, and local construction techniques

The RD1500 GPR system sets the highest standards for insights and target confidence to detect traditionally non-locatable subsurface features such as:

• • Non-metallic pipes, including PVC and asbestos cement
  • Underground electrical cable.

Concrete storm and sewer systems.

• Metallic and non-metallic utilities.
• Utilities where installed tracer wiring has failed.
• Underground storage tanks and drainage tiles.
• Septic system components.
• Non-utility system structures such as vaults, foundation walls, and concrete pads.

RD1500 include:

an external GPS, for higher positional accuracy
the Enhancement package, which enables the user to slice through the exported depth data, export data to other formats and more, and
for even more analysis, the Utility Suite software option that offers features such as processing and displaying grid data in alternative ways, and the ability to output data to 3D visualization software such as Voxler
