How Much Do GPR Surveys Cost?
GPR surveys typically cost between £300 and £600 per day. Prices vary depending on the size and complexity of the area being surveyed and the detail required.
Factors like terrain type, such as rocky or uneven ground, and subsurface conditions, including varying moisture levels or underground utilities, may also influence the final cost. Additionally, the type of data processing and analysis required, whether basic mapping or intricate 3D imaging, can affect pricing.
We use equipment such as multi-frequency antenna systems and GPS integration to enhance accuracy and detail. All our surveys comply with PAS 128 standards, ensuring reliable results.
We tailor our pricing to suit individual project needs. Typical clients include construction firms, environmental consultants, and public sector organisations.

How Are GPR Surveys Conducted?
Our GPR surveys use radar equipment to send electromagnetic waves into the ground, capturing reflected signals from subsurface structures. The process involves these key steps:
Site Assessment: Evaluating the site conditions and preparing the area for survey.
Equipment Setup: Configuring our radar system with the appropriate settings.
Data Collection: Conducting systematic scans over the designated area.
Data Analysis: Interpreting the reflected signals to identify subsurface features.
Reporting: Providing a detailed report with findings and recommendations.
This efficient and safe method helps avoid costly errors in construction and land development.
What Are the Benefits of GPR Surveys?
GPR surveys offer numerous advantages, making them indispensable for a wide range of applications. By using electromagnetic radiation to penetrate the ground, this technology produces high-resolution images of subsurface features without disrupting the ground surface.
We employ the latest GPR equipment that includes digital signal processing and antenna arrays, ensuring precise data interpretation.
Non-Invasive: No need for excavation or drilling, which preserves the integrity of the site.
Accurate Detection: Identifies utilities, voids, and geological features up to several metres deep accurately.
Safety: Reduces risks associated with underground construction projects by preventing accidental strikes on hidden utilities.
Versatile: Suitable for varied environments, from congested urban areas with complex utility networks to rural settings with sensitive ecological conditions.
GPR surveys comply with local safety standards and environmental regulations, offering peace of mind for developers and site managers. Let Leicester Surveys provide you with a detailed insight into subsurface conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in the price of a GPR survey?
The price typically includes site assessment, data collection, and a report of findings. Additional services such as extended analysis may incur extra costs.
How long does a GPR survey take?
Most GPR surveys can be completed within a day, although this may vary depending on the site's size and complexity.
Can GPR surveys detect all types of underground structures?
GPR is effective in identifying utilities, voids, and non-metallic objects. However, detection capability can be influenced by soil conditions and the materials being scanned.
How do I maintain the survey results?
Keep digital and physical copies of the survey report for future reference. Regular surveys may be required if the site conditions change over time.
