How Much Do GPR Surveys Cost?
GPR Surveys typically cost around £500 to £1,500 per day. Costs vary based on the survey's dimensions, intricacy, and location within the area.
Additionally, site conditions such as varying subsurface composition, presence of utilities, and vegetation coverage can affect pricing. The type of project, whether it's a construction site, archaeological investigation, or utility location, may also influence expenses, as different projects demand specific scanning depths, typically between 6 to 30 metres, and specialised equipment like a multi-channel antenna array.
Moreover, compliance with standards such as PAS 128, which specifies the quality level for utility detection surveys, can factor into the overall cost. For a personalised quotation tailored to your project needs, get in touch with Planet Surveying.
What Are the Benefits of GPR Surveys?
GPR Surveys offer numerous benefits for projects, making them an indispensable tool for construction, archaeology, and environmental assessments. They provide non-destructive analysis, versatile detection capabilities, and enhanced safety measures.
These advantages make GPR ideal for various industry applications and the following benefits:
Accurate identification of subsurface structures without excavation, using electromagnetic radar pulses to detect features like pipes, cables, and voids.
Suitable for a wide range of materials and environments, including concrete, soil, rock, and asphalt, ensuring adaptability to diverse project needs.
Minimised safety risks by preventing accidental hits on underground utilities, meeting health and safety regulations such as the PAS 128 standard for underground utility detection.
Speedy data acquisition with real-time visualisation, reducing project downtime and informing immediate decision-making.

How Long Do GPR Surveys Take?
Most GPR Survey projects take around one to two days to complete, depending on the site conditions and complexity. Urban environments with extensive underground utilities may require additional time to accurately map out the structures.
Preparation includes an initial site visit to assess obstacles such as surface materials like concrete or asphalt, which may influence scan depth and detail.
Data analysis can take several hours to a few days depending on the volume and resolution of the data collected. We use advanced software like GPR-SLICE for accurate layer separation and feature identification.
Adhering to standards like PAS 128 for utility detection, our team ensures every survey is thorough.
