GPR Surveys
Get in TouchAt Alpine Land Surveyors, we provide precise GPR surveys, carefully designed to offer detailed insight into subsurface structures. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) uses electromagnetic waves to penetrate the ground, helping us map features, utilities, and voids effectively.
It is a non-invasive technique widely used across construction, archaeology, and environmental sectors. Our team is experienced in delivering high-quality surveys covering and the surrounding postcode area, ensuring all your project requirements are met.

How Much Do GPR Surveys Cost?
GPR surveys typically cost between £1,500 and £3,000 per survey. The exact cost depends on the size of the survey area, site accessibility, and depth of investigation required.
For larger or more complex sites, additional resources and time may be necessary, affecting the price. Factors like the type of subsurface materials, such as reinforced concrete or sandy soils, can influence the survey complexity and duration.
We often use advanced GPR equipment like a multi-channel array for detailed imaging, which can affect pricing based on the level of detail required. Adherence to industry standards, such as those set by the British Standards Institution (BSI), ensures we deliver reliable results.
We provide tailored quotes based on precise parameters, ensuring a cost-effective solution for your project. Contact us today for a detailed quotation.
What Are the Benefits of GPR Surveys?
GPR surveys offer numerous benefits, making them an invaluable tool for your projects. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) employs electromagnetic waves to detect structures, voids, and variations in material properties beneath the surface, all without causing disturbance.
Non-Invasive Exploration: GPR surveys provide subsurface information without disrupting the surface. This method negates the requirement for invasive methods such as drilling or digging.
High Accuracy: They deliver precise data suitable for detailed mapping of underground features. Our surveys can pinpoint utilities, conduits, and other anomalies with impressive accuracy.
Versatile Application: Useful in archaeology, construction, and utility mapping. GPR is ideal for identifying unmarked graves in cemeteries or locating rebar in concrete in structural assessments.
Cost Efficiency: Reduces the need for exploratory digging and minimises project delays. The technology can save both time and resources by accurately identifying issues before excavation begins.
Let us help you unlock the potential of your project with professional GPR surveys.
How Long Do GPR Surveys Take?
Most GPR surveys are completed within one to three days, depending on the size and complexity of the site. For example, a large commercial plot with varied underground features may need more detailed scanning.
The equipment we use, such as the SIR 4000 GPR system, allows us to gather precise data efficiently, even in challenging conditions. Weather conditions, like heavy rain, and site accessibility, such as urban locations with restricted access, can also influence the duration.
Additionally, processing the collected data through specialised software like RADAN is essential for accurate interpretation, which adds an extra day or two for analysis. Data analysis and reporting typically require this additional time but are crucial for delivering comprehensive results, adhering to standards like PAS 128.
Our team will provide clear timelines and keep you updated throughout the survey process, ensuring all information is precise and actionable.
