Ground penetrating radar (GPR)
equipment for locating buried utilities is an option that has been available for several years, but US Radar
has taken the technology a step
further combining subsurface GPR
and global position system (GPS)
technologies.
US Radar's new GP Rover,
with advanced triple-bandwidth,
ground-penetrating radar technology and global GPS connectivity,
can create subsurface maps in real
time, accurate within two inches.
Triple-frequency radar technology locates and provides imaging of
objects at greater depths and with
higher resolution than competitive
single- or dual-frequency systems.
"With the new US Radar GP Rover, the days of having to make an
intersection look like a graffiti-covered subway car are changing," said
Ron LaBarca, president of US Radar.
"Until now, the a utility mark-out
was flags and spray-paint markings. Now, we have documentation
that can be handed to a backhoe or
a directional drill operator after the
mapping is complete. Maps created
using the GP Rover provide a permanent and updateable record that
can be shared by all contributors to
a project. It can be integrated with
existing maps or updated with new
information."
Field data collected by the GP
Rover may be saved and shared in
any of the five most-common file
formats - SHP, DXF, KMZ, CSV,
RTF - used in popular mapping
and engineering applications, such
as AutoCad, Google Earth, GIS and
point files.
LaBarca said the GP Rover combines high accuracy and differential
GPR locating capabilities with the
most-accurate and -responsive GPS
location-positioning software in an

easy-to-learn, easy-to-use operator
interface. Newly patented tilt-correction technology automatically compensates for slope and cross-slope of
GPR and GPS antennas to increase
overall accuracy on uneven terrain.
Easy operations
The GP Rover does not require complicated setup and network configuration. It automatically connects
to the worldwide GPS network and
configures as soon as the radar is
turned on.
"With GP Rover," LaBarca continued, "any operator can create an
accurate point file, preserve location

points without destructive surface
markings, display location points on
the integrated computer screen, export points to mapping applications
and view in real-time locations on
as-built maps."
A key benefit of the GP Rover is
that it can be used effectively anywhere in the world because it connects with the global Starfire GPS
network - a service of John Deere
subsidiary NAVCOM - eliminating
the need for connection subscriptions.
The GP Rover uses the same battery for both GPR and GPS systems,
eliminating costly additional batter-
