Proceq’s GS8000 Mapping GPR units are ideal for larger subsurface applications like underground utility location and mapping, geophysical investigations, infrastructure asset inspection, and forensic and archeological studies. The pushcart is well suited for scans of pavements, bridge decks, and slabs, as well as off-road terrain in the Pro model. Stepped frequency continuous wave (SFCW) technology sweeps over an ultrawide 0.2–3.4GHz bandwidth, balancing signal penetration depth and object resolution in one antenna without the compromises of single frequency pulsed radar systems.
Units scan data at speeds up to 50mph (80kmh) and display data in real time. Maximum penetration depth is 33ft (10m). For average soil conditions, penetration is approximately 12ft (3.7m). A 0.4in (10mm) metallic object can be detected at up to 305mm (12in) deep. Specifications listed apply to units sold in North America.
An encrypted Wi-Fi connection between the GPR and the user’s Apple iPad provides the ideal platform to collect, view, and distribute data. The included operating software leverages the iPad’s powerful post-processing capacity, high visual resolution, and reporting and collaboration features. Instantly upload scan data and graphics, and report information to the cloud from any location for immediate sharing with stakeholders everywhere. The iPad Pro Wi-Fi + Cellular model with 1TB storage capacity and current iPadOS version is recommended.
The complete wireless system is fully integrated with a collapsible and ergonomically adjustable pushcart that easily rolls over varied terrain. The antenna quickly changes between ground-coupled, dual-axis floating alignment to air gap positioning with 1in (25.4mm) clearance. The maximum length for straight-line scans is 9.3mi (15km), and grid scans can be performed to a size of 260x260ft (80x80m).
Power is provided for a full working day by eight rechargeable flight-safe NiMH Ctype batteries in battery packs that can be hot swapped, or a user-supplied USBPD compatible power bank.
CT-181 GS8000 Lite GPR is designed to rapidly locate, delineate, and mark underground utilities or other subsurface targets. GPR data is depicted on the display screen and saved as conventional two-dimensional “radargrams” for interpretation by trained technicians. Measurements can be performed and saved as line scans or grid scans.
The CT-181 includes the GS8000 Lite pushcart with integrated GPR sensor, a iPad holder with sunshade cover, power supply, cables, Wi-Fi module, basic tools and accessories, and documentation. Advanced Suite GS8000 Lite GPR software is included; no subscription or renewal is required. An extra battery pack can be purchased separately as an accessory. An Apple iPad is supplied by the user. Product Dimensions: 24x22.4x15in (610x570x380mm), WxDxH.
CT-182 GS8000 Pro GPR renders realistic 2D or full 3D color-enhanced mapping of subsurface data. When using Apple’s ARKit™, augmented reality (AR) images can be overlaid on real-world views through the iPad. Real-time, in situ images of subsurface elements do not require extensive expert interpretation and can be exported to CAD or GIS applications. The GS8000 Pro performs line or grid scans as well as Free Path mapping. Free Path scans plot a real-time heatmap display of areas at a desired depth range as the scan is performed.
An onboard multiband Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) antenna provides accurate positioning and receives signals from GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou system satellites. With an active internet connection, State Space Representation (SSR) augmentation further refines geolocation data and records it automatically with a corrected precision of 0.5–2in (1–5cm). Tags, marks, photos, notes, and voice note observations with precise locations are added to the report data during scanning.
CT-182 GS8000 Pro GPR systems include the GS8000 Pro pushcart with integrated GPR sensor, GNSS rover, carbon fiber pole, tripod, iPad holder with sunshade, power supply, cables, Wi-Fi module, off-road wheels and underbody, basic tools and accessories, a hard-shell transportation case, and documentation. Also included is a five-year renewable subscription for the Advanced Suite GS8000 GPR Pro software. An extra battery pack can be purchased separately as an accessory.
