Ground-penetrating radar research
Ground-penetrating radar is a technique used to create an image of the subsurface. Ground-penetrating radar transmits electromagnetic waves into the ground via a transmitting antenna; these waves are reflected by objects and changes in the soil composition (dielectric contrasts). The ground-penetrating radar system digitally records the reflections from the ground. Ground-penetrating radar can be used to detect the presence of:
cables and pipes (CROW500 compliant)
landfill sites
foundations
voids in the ground (such as badger setts)
