What advantages do drone-mounted GPR systems have over traditional ground-based GPR?

Drone-mounted GPR systems offer access to difficult or dangerous terrain, centimeter-level accuracy, and repeatability, which is crucial for long-term research and studies. In addition, SPH Engineering offers interoperability for different payloads using the same UAV with the SkyHub onboard computer.

What depth can SPH Engineering's GPR systems penetrate?

Penetration depth varies based on soil conditions and the specific GPR system used. Our systems typically achieve depths of 0.3 to 10 meters in average conditions, with greater penetration in dry, sandy soils and less in wet, clay-rich environments. Each system is optimized for specific depth ranges and applications.

Can these GPR systems be integrated with existing drone fleets?

Yes, our GPR systems are designed for compatibility with industry-standard drones like the DJI M300, M350, and M400, as well as US manufacturers such as Inspired Flight and Harris Aerial. Integration kits and mounting solutions are available to ensure proper balance and secure attachment. Our technical team provides support throughout the integration process to ensure optimal performance.

What software is used to process and analyze the GPR data?

Our systems are compatible with industry-standard GPR processing software. Additionally, we offer specialized software solutions (GeoHammer) that streamline the workflow from data collection to visualization, allowing for efficient analysis and interpretation of subsurface features.

What training is required to operate these aerial GPR systems effectively?

We provide comprehensive training programs covering system operation, flight planning, data collection protocols, and basic data interpretation. Most surveyors with drone piloting experience can become proficient with our GPR systems after completing our training program.

Ground Penetrating Radar

Detailed subsurface data with specialized drone-mounted GPR systems. There are several standard methods for conducting GPR surveys, each with its benefits and drawbacks. No single method is universally applicable; the appropriate or most suitable approach should be chosen based on the survey target and environmental conditions.
