GPR is
a nondestructive geophysical method that produces a continuous cross-sectional
profile of subsurface features, without drilling, probing, or digging.
GPR is the highest resolution technology available for subsurface
imaging. The data is used for evaluating the location and depth of
buried objects (metallic & non-metallic) and to investigate the
presence and continuity of natural and man-made subsurface conditions
and features.
