Ground Penetrating Radar Certification Training
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a locating technology complimentary to electromagnetic locating. GPR technology allows you to see below the surface to identify potential obstacles and challenges with underground construction. This class provides a practical, hands-on GPR training for entry to intermediate level utility locators who want to integrate GPR imaging into their locating services. Participants will:
- Focus on applications of GPR technology and how it compliments EM locating.
- Understand the science of GPR and factors affecting effectiveness and reliability.
- Gather, process and interpret data.
- Receive hands-on practice with GPR instruments, including exercises and troubleshooting.
A certification test verifying the participants ability:
- General knowledge of GPR instruments.
- Assess the likelihood of a successful GPR scan.
- Interpretation of image results.
Participants will leave the class prepared to go into the field and utilize GPR instruments and technology.
