Risk-reduction scans before trenching, drilling or coring.
Pre-excavation GPR surveys are insurance against very expensive mistakes. We mobilize for trenching, micro-piling, micro-tunneling, foundation work, anchor drilling and any subsurface intervention where a strike on a live utility or anchor structure would create a project crisis. The work is fast, the cost is small relative to the consequences, and the deliverable is a confidence-grade marked-up site plan that crews can work from with eyes open.
Utility GPR is a sub-division of Leak.ca, the Greater Vancouver leak detection company trusted since 1999. Every site visit is delivered by certified technicians using calibrated equipment, with documented findings formatted for insurance, engineering and procurement use.
We don't sell remediation. Our role is independent detection and assessment — the data you and your professional team work from.
Most single-trench scans are 30 minutes to 2 hours on site.
Yes — frozen ground actually performs well for GPR.
Field-grade reporting is standard; stamping is by your engineer of record.
