Ground Insight Without Digging:
Precision Imaging with GPR Technology
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a non-invasive geophysical technique that uses electromagnetic waves to image the subsurface. Widely adopted for utility detection, concrete scanning, environmental assessment, and geotechnical applications, GPR offers precise, real-time insights into underground conditions without excavation. As industries across North America increasingly require efficient and accurate ground testing technologies, GPR continues to stand out for its versatility, speed, and safety.
Soil Ground Testing, headquartered in Los Angeles, CA, delivers top-of-the-line GPR systems to help clients across the continent streamline field operations and ensure compliance with technical and regulatory standards. Through a commitment to product innovation, hardware reliability, and hands-on customer support, we provide tailored solutions that help B2B partners unlock deep, data-driven value from the subsurface.

Case Studies
U.S. Transportation Infrastructure Project (Texas)
A civil engineering firm used our mid-range GPR systems to assess bridge deck deterioration across a multi-lane interstate corridor. By identifying rebar corrosion and voids, they avoided over $500,000 in unnecessary excavation and repair costs. Soil Ground Testing provided onsite training and post-survey analysis support.
Utility Location for Smart City Development (Chicago, IL)
During pre-construction for a new smart infrastructure project, a contractor deployed highfrequency GPR units to accurately locate underground fiber-optic lines and legacy gas pipelines. The project was completed 20% ahead of schedule due to precise detection and zero service interruptions.
Canadian Environmental Firm in Alberta
A consulting firm in Alberta relied on GPR and moisture sensors from Soil Ground Testing to conduct non-invasive environmental surveys across oil sands reclamation zones. The combination of subsurface void mapping and dielectric analysis contributed to accurate soil restoration and environmental reporting compliance.
