Georadar Explorer 3.0
Georadar Explorer 3.0 - Ground Penetrating Radar for underground utilities detection and mapping
Tesmec Georadar Explorer 3.0 is a Ground Probing Radar - GPR - which detects underground utilities, optimizing trenching and laying operations. This system has been developed to guarantee the safety of trenching work sites and to increase operational speed, avoiding utilities strike incidents. Utilizing Explorer 3.0 reduces risks and costs by providing non destructive surveing to locate underground networks.
The 3.0 new systems has been reduced in size, making it easier and more practical. The new brakets lock and stabilize the antenna during acquisition, facilitating its movement. All the electronics, including the Control Unit, are inside the antenna box. Lithium batteries, reduced in size and weight, replace the previous lead - acid batteries and guarantee a longer service life. The GPR, integrated with Gaia (the mobile Lidar 360° detection system through photographs and 3D laser scanner) and the drone (for a high definition aerophotogrammetry) provide a mobile laboratory for a state-of-the-art jobsite.
