In modern construction, safety, accuracy, and smart planning are crucial. Whether you are developing a residential project, laying new utilities, planning a major infrastructure upgrade, or conducting land development, understanding subsurface conditions is essential. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) survey has become the most powerful, non-destructive and reliable technology for identifying underground utilities, voids, obstacles, moisture pockets, and soil conditions—without any digging or disruption.
Lctss (Land Coordinates Technology) provides advanced GPR Survey Services across India, helping construction companies eliminate risks, avoid costly damages, and ensure smooth execution of their projects. With cutting-edge equipment and certified surveyors, Lctss delivers fast, accurate, and high-resolution subsurface imaging for all construction and civil engineering needs.

ToggleGPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) is a non-invasive technology that uses electromagnetic waves to scan underground features. As the radar waves travel below the surface, they reflect back when they encounter objects, layers, pipes, voids, or anomalies. The system then creates a detailed 2D or 3D model of what lies beneath.
This allows engineers and construction teams to gain complete underground visibility before excavation or drilling—significantly reducing risks and preventing structural damage.
GPR works effectively on:
Soil
Concrete
Asphalt
Sand
Rock
Composite surfaces
Construction projects involve heavy excavation, utility laying, drilling, and foundation works. Any unforeseen underground obstruction can lead to delays, financial losses, safety hazards, and legal complications.
A professional GPR survey enables:
Safe excavation planning
Accurate utility detection
Identification of voids & cavities
Prevention of underground pipe & cable damage
Efficient site plan development
Preventing water line & gas line hazards
Reducing rework and project downtime
For construction companies aiming to achieve maximum safety and quality, a GPR survey is no longer optional—it’s essential.
Accurate identification of underground pipes, cables, conduits, and sewer lines is vital before digging. GPR helps detect:
Water pipelines
Electrical cables
Fiber optic lines
Gas pipelines
Telecom lines
Drainage networks
Lctss provides high-resolution mapping to prevent accidental strikes and ensure uninterrupted utility services.
Unexpected underground obstacles can cause major accidents. GPR scans identify:
Buried structures
Old foundations
Reinforcements
Abandoned utilities
Underground tanks
This ensures safe and controlled excavation with zero surprises.
Before laying building foundations, a GPR survey can detect:
Soil layer variations
Moisture content
Underground voids
Rock depth
Hard strata clues
This data helps structural engineers design safe and stable foundation systems.
For infrastructure projects, GPR surveys support:
Pavement evaluation
Sub-base analysis
Void detection under roads
Rebar detection in concrete structures
This improves road life and construction quality.
When utilities need to be shifted or upgraded, accurate mapping is crucial. GPR provides precise coordinates to support planning and relocation.
GPR helps detect:
Contaminated soil layers
Underground leakage
Buried waste
This ensures environmental compliance and safe land development.

GPR uses radar waves to detect underground objects and layers. These waves reflect back when they hit a buried material, allowing the system to map subsurface features.
It prevents utility damages, ensures worker safety, improves planning, and avoids expensive delays.
Depending on soil conditions and frequency used, GPR can detect up to 10 meters deep.
Yes. GPR can locate metal, plastic, concrete, voids, pipes, cables, and even soil layer changes.
Absolutely. GPR is non-destructive, faster, safer, and more economical.
Yes. GPR uses low-power electromagnetic waves that are safe for people and the environment.
Yes, but extremely saturated soils may reduce penetration depth.
Depending on site size, it can be completed within a few hours to a few days.
Clients receive detailed maps, utility layouts, CAD/GIS files, 2D/3D models, and a clear interpretation report.
Yes, GPR is highly effective in identifying voids, cavities, and delamination under concrete surfaces.
