Renting ground penetrating radar versus buying

Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is a method that has been developed for shallow investigations of the earth and to detect anything of interest underground. The costs widely vary, and many pipe and cable locators can be rented out for a fraction of the buy price. If you’re looking to get underground locating services, read on to find out whether you should hire or buy a GPR.

• First evaluate the task and how long you would need to use an underground service locator for. GPR surveys can be conducted by contractors for a few thousand dollars per day depending on how much interpretation is required. These costs can quickly add up if your project is very long.
• Next evaluate the type of underground utility locating service you require. Systems can cost a pretty penny to purchase, so be sure you have the right machine for the task.
• Consider your ability to interpret the radargram. This may be a challenge at first, so it might be worth bringing in an expert.
