Ground Penetrating Radar for mining
Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is a well-established technology that has earned its place as the go-to technology for many subsurface imaging applications. No other geophysical method comes close to GPR's ease of deployment, nor the amount of ground that an operator can cover in a typical day. Workers can quickly and efficiently collect quality high-resolution data, which often facilitates ...

Interpretation of GPR Raptor data - part 2
This note will delve further into 3D-GPR data interpretation and touch on the theme of quality control of the resulting exports. Condor’s development goal was to create 3D GPR processing software that was much easier to use while still being effective. When considering the different elements of a 3D-GPR project, e.g., data volume, target complexity, positioning systems, varying soils, ...

Combined application of Pipe Penetrating Radar and LIDAR for large diameter pipe inspection
Abstract: Pipe Penetrating Radar (PPR) is the underground in-pipe application of ground penetrating radar (GPR), a non-destructive testing method that can detect defects and cavities within and outside mainline diameter (>18 in./450mm) non-metallic (reinforced concrete, vitrified clay, PVC, HDPE, etc.) underground pipes. Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) has become an accepted method for ...

No more odor and corrosion case study
Sewer systems are vulnerable to corrosion and, at times, can be the source of unpleasant odors. Kemira’s new H2S-Guard tackles both problems, as in most cases the source of these issues is hydrogen sulphide, forming in septic areas, in other words areas where no oxygen for metabolic reactions is available. The H2S-solution combines three important steps: measurement, monitoring and control ...
