This preferred method provides an accurate, safe, and cost-effective means of locating:

• Rebar

How Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) Can Get Your Project Moving

Nothing gets subsurface investigation done like Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR). Our advanced technology at American Geophysics has helped many New York City projects succeed and improve their processes. Some benefits of GPR are:

• it’s safe
• it fits your budget
• it’s effective
• produces better quality scans
• quick results

GPR is useful in many project situations, including ground, concrete, and others. X-ray scanners are also used, but their results aren’t as accurate as the ones you’d get when using GPR. Before you break ground on your newest project, stop to make sure you know what is beneath your work site. Don’t take any unnecessary risks– give us a call today to see the superior services we have to offer.
