Engineering-Grade Utility Mapping

From field radar detection to CAD & GIS utility maps.

Paint marks on the ground eventually wash away—engineering and construction teams need permanent digital records. As a dedicated GPR survey company, we capture the exact X-Y coordinates and burial depths of all detected underground services and overlay them onto aerial orthophotos and CAD drawings.

How It Works

Our 4-step GPR utility survey & mapping methodology

End-to-end subsurface detection, land survey pickup, and CAD drafting.

Step 01

Desktop & Control Setup

We review existing site drawings and establish GNSS / Total Station survey control across your project boundary.

Step 02

Multi-Sensor GPR & EM Sweep

Our utility surveyors locate and mark all buried water, sewer, stormwater, gas, electrical, and telecom lines.

Step 03

Survey Coordinate Pickup

Every marked utility alignment, depth point, and surface chamber is logged with centimetre-level GNSS or Total Station accuracy.

Step 04

CAD, KML & Report Delivery

Our CAD & geomatics team processes the field data into layered AutoCAD (.DWG/.DXF), Google Earth (.KML), and PDF survey reports.

What comes in a Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) survey report?

Our GPR survey report includes an executive summary, survey methodology, annotated site photographs of surface markings, interpreted radargram profiles, a schedule of detected utilities with estimated depths, and digital plan drawings in PDF, KML (Google Earth), and optional AutoCAD (.DWG/.DXF) formats.

Can you overlay detected underground utilities onto our existing CAD site plan?

Yes. If you provide your existing topographical survey or site layout in DWG/DXF format or coordinate system (e.g., Lo27 / Lo29 / WGS84), we georeference our utility detections directly onto your drawing layers.

Do you conduct large-area GPR utility surveys across South Africa?

Yes. Our survey teams mobilize nationwide for multi-hectare commercial precincts, mining corridors, municipal pipeline routes, and industrial facilities.
