Ground Penetrating Radar, GPR, is one of the most versatile and effective nondestructive technologies available for subsurface investigations. Using high frequency radar pulses, GPR creates images of the subsurface that help detect hidden objects, changes in material, voids, and structural components across a wide range of environments. These insights are critical for preventing utility strikes, maintaining structural integrity, and supporting compliant construction practices.
As a trusted provider of Ground Penetrating Radar, we deliver precise and dependable subsurface data to help clients plan safely and work efficiently. Blood Hound’s expertise, advanced equipment, and proven methodologies allow project teams to reduce risk and move forward with confidence.
Utility Detection and Mapping
Blood Hound uses GPR to locate and map underground utilities with exceptional accuracy. GPR detects both metallic and nonmetallic utilities including water lines, sewer lines, gas lines, telecommunications conduits, fiber optics, and electrical systems. By identifying the exact location and depth of utilities before excavation begins, our team helps prevent costly damage, service interruptions, and safety incidents.
Concrete Scanning
GPR is widely used to scan concrete structures and identify embedded components. Blood Hound’s concrete scanning services help project teams safely cut, core, or drill by detecting rebar, post tension cables, conduits, and structural elements hidden within slabs, walls, and columns. This service is essential for renovation projects, anchor installations, and any task requiring manipulation of concrete.
Void and Anomaly Detection
Undetected voids, sinkholes, and soil anomalies can compromise structural stability and lead to unexpected failures. GPR helps identify irregularities beneath roadways, floors, foundations, and open areas. Early detection allows for proactive correction and reduces the likelihood of settlement or collapse.
By locating hidden hazards before excavation or construction begins, GPR contributes to safer worksites. Nondestructive scanning eliminates the need for exploratory digging and minimizes the risk of hitting unknown utilities or structural elements.
Blood Hound uses advanced GPR systems designed to deliver clear, precise images of subsurface conditions. Our experienced technicians interpret this data accurately, helping clients make informed decisions and avoid project risks.
Unforeseen subsurface conditions are a major cause of delays and budget overruns. Blood Hound’s GPR services allow for early identification of potential issues, reducing costly surprises, preventing damage, and keeping your project on schedule.
Construction and Engineering
GPR plays a vital role in site assessments, preconstruction evaluations, and structural analysis. From foundation studies to verification of as built drawings, GPR helps ensure that construction activities comply with safety and engineering standards.
Environmental Assessments
Environmental professionals rely on GPR to identify underground storage tanks, detect areas of suspected contamination, and assist with remediation planning. GPR provides a non-intrusive method for understanding site conditions without disturbing sensitive areas.
Infrastructure Maintenance
Municipalities and facility managers use GPR to evaluate the condition of roads, bridges, airport runways, and other infrastructure components. GPR helps identify voids, delamination, and areas requiring reinforcement or repair, supporting long term infrastructure health.

What makes Blood Hound’s ground penetrating radar services unique?
Blood Hound combines expert technicians, advanced GPR equipment, and noninvasive methods to deliver highly accurate subsurface data for a wide range of industries.
What types of subsurface features can your GPR detect?
GPR can detect utilities, rebar, conduits, post tension cables, voids, soil anomalies, underground storage tanks, and changes in material composition.
How accurate is Blood Hound’s GPR technology in locating utilities?
Our GPR systems provide highly accurate location and depth estimates. When combined with other locating methods, accuracy further improves.
Can GPR be used in both indoor and outdoor environments?
Yes. GPR works on interior slabs, exterior surfaces, open land, parking lots, and more.
What surfaces or materials can your GPR scan through?
GPR can scan through concrete, soil, asphalt, rock, and other nonmetallic materials.
How does GPR compare to other utility locating methods?
GPR excels at detecting nonmetallic utilities and subsurface anomalies that electromagnetic locating tools cannot detect.
Do I need to prepare the site before a GPR scan?
Minimal preparation is required. The surface should be accessible and free of obstacles that could interfere with equipment movement.
How quickly can Blood Hound deliver GPR results and reporting?
Most results are available immediately, and detailed reports or drawings can be delivered shortly after the field investigation.
Is GPR safe to use around existing utilities or live electrical lines?
Yes. GPR uses low energy radar signals that are safe for people, utilities, and sensitive equipment.
