GSSI Showcases Newest GPR Equipment at Damage Prevention Symposium

The new UtilityScan on display at the booth features innovative technology never before available in the marketplace. With its compact size, it is extremely portable and easy to maneuver in tight survey areas. This system is designed specifically to meet the needs of electrical contractors, utility installers, and municipal and state gas and water utilities.

UtilityScan features a robust new wireless antenna that can handle required data rates and is ruggedly built to withstand challenging field conditions. The electrical design uses GSSI’s patented HyperStacking technology, which has proven to increase depth penetration in challenging soils, while also providing high near surface data resolution. The system also has a backup Ethernet connection if Wi-Fi is not desired or allowed on a particular jobsite or facility. UtilityScan can be equipped with the new LineTrac™ accessory, which helps locate specific power sources situated underground, including AC power and induced RF energy present in conduits.

Two other systems will be on display at the show; the StructureScan Mini XT and SIR-4000 GPR control unit. The StructureScan Mini XT is ideal for locating rebar, conduits, post-tension cables and voids. The Mini XT has a few accessories that can be added to greatly enhance this system. The Palm XT is the newest accessory and is a miniaturized GPR antenna that gives users unparalleled access in tightly spaced areas and enables ease of use for overhead scanning. The LineTrac XT adds the ability to detect AC power and induced RF energy present in conduits. The SIR-4000 controller is designed to bridge the legacy of GSSI’s traditional analog antennas with next-generation digital offerings, giving it the flexibility to support a wide range of users and applications.
