Ok, so what is Ground Penetrating Radar? Well, we are not going to get all technical on you here, for those of you that are engineers and want the science behind it all, here is the link to the Wikipedia page on Ground Penetrating Radar or GPR for short. But in layman’s terms, GPR is a non-invasive detection technique used to find underground services without disturbing the soil. It works by sending bands of electromagnetic radiation beneath the ground surface. These bands bounce off objects in the ground, which then show up on a radar screen.
Now where the skill comes in is then interpreting that data you are seeing on the screen. It is for this reason that Geelong Cable Locations are the leaders in the industry. Unsatisfied with the training provided from the distributor and after trying several so-called GPR experts within Australia, Ben Minutoli, owner, and manager of Geelong Cable Locations, flew over to America and completed training performed by GSSI the manufacture of radar themselves.
Twelve months later Ben then sent staff over to be trained as well. On buying a different branded GPR being IDS, Ben has travelled to Pisa in Italy where it is manufactured. In fact here is a link to a video they filmed of him while there, warning it is pretty average.
