The UtilityScan features a wireless and lightweight configuration, our patented HyperStacking technology for unparalleled data quality, and integrated LineTrac system. This state-of-the-art system sets the new standard in performance and price.

 

Locate and Map Underground Utilities

Contractors can mark out the depth and position of metallic and non-metallic pipes, and continuous plastic conduits such as gas and water lines, in real time using the GSSI UtilityScan products. GPR can enhance the overall understanding of subsurface targets and obstructions.

Taken at the GSSI utility test pit, this data illustrates 3 utility targets at various depths. These targets are metal, and this data was taken with the SIR 4000 and 400 MHz antenna. This data image highlights the marker input feature in the SIR 4000 control unit.

Locate Utilities with LineTrac

This data image was taken with the new UtilityScan and shows a target at 1m deep, target is electric utility with 60 Hz power detected. This data set highlights the LineTrac feature that is optional in the UtilityScan system.

Locate Duct Banks

Utilities encased in concrete and groupings of utilities can be located by using ground penetrating radar.

This 2D data set shows a duct bank with five utilities. Also shown is a well-defined excavation trench. This data was collected with the UtilityScan Pro with the 400 MHz antenna.

Identify Underground Voids

Construction professionals, engineers and transportation departments can identify and delineate voids under the surface of concrete and asphalt roadways with ground penetrating radar.

Data illustrates a well defined void underneath a reinforced concrete slab with an asphalt overlay. Note the small subsurface utilities in the bottom right of the data set. This data was taken with a SIR 4000 and 900 MHz antenna.

Geolitix: Utility Locating & Mapping

These data were collected down the street from the GSSI facility with the objective of mapping utilities. Data were collected with a UtilityScan system using GS Software in combination with an Emlid Reach GNSS receiver with NTRIP corrections.

A “random-walk” looping pattern was employed to collect the data. This method drastically cut down on data collection time vs. the more traditional gridding method.

Data was brought into Geolitix where it was sliced using the easy “Suggest parameters” tool.

Geolitix: Utility Locating & Mapping

Obvious utilities were interpreted in 3D space and classified based on in-field context clues. Interpretations can be exported in various formats, or a Public Link can be created to share the interactive 3D project directly with clients.

This entire process, from field collection to a shareable 3D model, demonstrates a highly efficient workflow for modern utility locating and damage prevention.
