Utility Mapping
Meridian use GPR technology as well as eletromagnetic and radio frequency to locate and determine the depth and position of metallic and non-metallic utilities and services. The wide scope of radar means we can also locate underground storage tanks and any associated ducting, sub surface concrete structures, voids and any other ground variations that may exist at your site.
​
As part of our radar service we can record and analyse data by making use of advanced GPR data processing software giving you greater accuracy in terms of the location and identification of targets.
​
The introduction of BSI PAS128 specification has provides a standard to help understand how targets have been located. This ensures end users have all the information they need when interpreting survey data.
