Cardno TBE’s 3D-UI service includes the following technologies:
14-Channel 3D Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) system
Multi-Channel Electromagnetic Induction (EMI) system
Accurate data positioning through the use of integrated GPS antennas or real-time tracking with a robotic total station
Cardno TBE’s 3D-UI technology offers several distinct advantages over conventional surface geophysical methods:
Multi-Channel configurations allow for the collection of 5-foot-wide data “swaths”, which are positioned accurately using advanced realtime positioning systems
Towable arrays allow for relatively rapid data collection
Full geophysical coverage allows for complete and accurate data over an entire site
Proprietary software allows for the collection, processing and interpretation of 3D Radar and EMI data from straight or curved data swaths
Cardno TBE’s 3D-UI technology can image both metallic and non-metallic subsurface
features and is proven effective for many applications, including the following:
Subsurface Infrastructure Mapping
Detailed Environmental or Brownfield Site Assessment
Subsurface Debris or Obstacle Identification
Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) Mapping
Archaeological or Forensic Investigations
Geological Investigations (such as void or karst identification)
