CASE STUDY//
CAUSEWAY VOID DETECTION
Client Objective/Goal: The goal was to locate possible voids caused by water incursion and indicate the location and size/depth of the anomalies.
Project application: We used an IDS Stream-DP array system for data collection which was then processed using Geolitix and IQMaps software. The client received a 3d and a 2d map of the located anomalies.
PROBLEM
The Client was concerned about possible voids in a causeway caused by water incursion.
The information was needed to give them data to help make a decision on possible remediation steps for the causeway. GPR was the only effective method for providing an indication
SOLUTION
We used an IDS Stream-DP array system for data collection. The data was collected and then process using Geolitix and IQMaps software. The deliverable was a 3d and 2d map of the located anomalies.
BENEFIT
Use of the Stream-DP system allowed us to collect data in one direction only as opposed to a grid pattern. This made the data collection much faster and easily done with one technician.
The Stream-DP provides near 100% coverage which is superior for locating smaller targets.
The client was able to receive valuable data in a short time and low cost relative to other methods and types of GPR systems.
