Ground Penetrating Radar - on the Road vs on the Grass

[@peterwebb9593]

Great video Ben. Very well put together and informative. Thanks for sharing.

[@GeelongCableLocations]

Cheers Peter, thank you very much.

[@CobraVipr]

Thanks for the content Ben, really helpful. I am a uni student completing the last semester of my bachelors degree. My final year project is actually on GPR's and these videos help a lot. Thanks once again.

[@GeelongCableLocations]

No worries at all mate. Can I ask, what are you studying?

[@CobraVipr]

@@GeelongCableLocations I've sent an email :)

[@CobraVipr]

@@GeelongCableLocations Hi Ben, still had no response from you. Is it maybe in spam? Thanks

[@GeelongCableLocations]

@@CobraVipr no I didn't get any email from you. But that is ok, you don't need to worry about emailing me. I was just curious really on what degree's have GPR in them. But it's all good. Good luck and hope it goes well for you.

I ran the 400mhz on a gssi sir3000.....always found the pipe and on different surfaces....a road is better but why didnt it pick it up.... unless it was to shallow...

[@GeelongCableLocations]

No pipes did not change depth. As you know yourself from using GPS's, radar all depends on soil conditions. Good soil you can see anything anywhere. Poor soil makes it a lot harder to see.

Hi, what is the difference between good soil and bad soil, also how much deep it can penetrate, I mean 3 meters 5 meters ?????

[@GeelongCableLocations]

Depths depends on what the soil is like. Here in Geelong and most of Melbourne, I can generally get down a depth of a meter maybe a touch more if we are lucky. Whereas in Perth where the soil is like sand and not much clay, I have heard stories of guys getting down depths of 5+ meters. @@keshav9183 can I ask, have you had a chance to check out @learnGPR yet? If you haven't head over to Dan's channel, you will find he goes through the science a lot better than I do and will explain to why we call some soil bad and others good.

How can I selecte the deep of pipe?

[@GeelongCableLocations]

Hi Mohamed, sorry I missed your message from 4 months ago. Can you say it again but differently, as I am not too sure what you are asking?

How do I get a job as a gpr tech?

[@GeelongCableLocations]

Hi, when you say get a job as a GPR tech, but what did you want to do? As in do you mean the same as me where I go out and locate underground cables and pipes? If that is the case then you need to get a job with a utility locating company. If you mean you want to look for ancient artefacts and stuff like that, then you are probably best going to university and getting a degree, although you can also learn on the job as well, but it will be a lot easier to get a job if you can prove you have studied it.
