GPR Surveys
Get in TouchAt Maverick Surveyors, we specialise in ground penetrating radar (GPR) surveys across and the surrounding postcode area. Our GPR surveys detect underground utilities like pipes and cables, helping to avoid costly disruptions.
The use of radar technology enables us to provide precise and efficient services suitable for construction sites, roadworks, and other projects. Contact us today to schedule a GPR survey and get accurate insights into your site.
What Is a GPR Survey?
A GPR survey uses radar pulses to image the subsurface, providing valuable insights into hidden features beneath the ground without the need for digging. At Maverick Surveyors, our GPR surveys help clients accurately detect underground utilities and structures.
The technique involves sending high-frequency radio waves into the ground, which reflect back to provide data about buried objects and changes in material. Typically, we use frequencies ranging from 100 MHz to 1 GHz, which allow for various depths of penetration and resolution levels to suit different project needs.
Our surveyors employ equipment such as a cart-mounted GPR system, which can cover large areas efficiently, or handheld units for more confined spaces. This method is crucial for projects involving sensitive environments or heritage sites, where preserving the integrity of the area is paramount.
Applications include locating water pipes, electric cables, and voids in both residential and commercial properties. Unlike traditional excavation, GPR is non-invasive, reducing disruption and saving time and money.

How Much Does a GPR Survey Cost?
A GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) survey typically costs between £500 and £1,500 per day. At Maverick Surveyors, the final price depends on the complexity and size of the site surveyed.
We use sophisticated radar equipment that operates at various frequencies, allowing us to penetrate different soil types and detect features such as buried utilities and soil composition. The complexity may increase if the survey involves dense urban environments or requires high-definition scanning to produce detailed subsurface images.
Factors such as site access, depth of investigation, and specific client requirements can influence the overall cost. Projects incorporating additional services, like electromagnetic induction (EMI) surveys or data analysis presentations, may also see adjustments in pricing.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a GPR survey take?
A GPR survey typically takes one to two days, depending on the size and complexity of the site. Larger or more complex sites may require additional time.
What depth can GPR surveys reach?
Our GPR surveys can penetrate up to three metres underground, making it ideal for detecting most subsurface features. The depth can vary based on the soil conditions and specific site factors.
Is GPR surveying safe?
Yes, GPR surveying is safe for both operators and the environment. It is non-invasive and does not involve any harmful radiation.
Our team follows strict safety standards to ensure every project is conducted safely.
Can GPR surveys locate all types of underground utilities?
GPR surveys are effective for locating various underground utilities, such as pipes and cables. However, the ability to detect objects depends on soil conditions and the material of the utilities.
