PRE-SITE INVESTIGATIONS
Stop starting your building projects without knowing more about your site. Knowing what is under the surface of your site can mitigate the unknown.
Echo GPR’s goal is simple and direct: ELIMINATE THE UNEXPECTED.
SITE INVESTIGATIONS – UNCOVERING HISTORY
Echo GPR provides a service that elevates us above everyone else. Our large selection of GPR antennas and EM equipment allows us to scan any size property and identify underground anomalies that are not consistent with the surrounding soils. This goes beyond utility locating. We uncover history. Our services have found old building foundations, abandoned underground storage tanks, debris pits from demolition, abandoned boilers, tunnels, storm shelters and even buried vehicles! Do not dig on your next site without getting a better understanding of what lies beneath it.
PLANNING AHEAD – AVOID SURPRISES WITH PRE-SITE INVESTIGATIONS
Knowing what lies beneath your property before the first shovel hits the ground can greatly reduce interruptions and costs in your project. Whether you are developing a parking lot downtown into a new multi-story building, or installing a storm water retention basin, knowing there may be obstacles long forgotten to time will be tremendous value in the planning phase. The GPR results can uncover the forgotten and be used by both Environmental and Geophysical companies to direct soil boring investigations. Knowing where to test can be just as important as the tests themselves.
PROPERTY INVESTMENT – DIRECTING INVESTIGATIONS
Echo GPR is providing real estate developers with an investment into their project. The knowledge of the changing conditions underground can precisely direct physical soil borings to uncover those specific changes. Knowing if old building foundations, building debris or a UST are underground can be used to get more project specific bids from contractors knowing what to expect in advance. Knowledge before you enter the project doesn’t increase costs and time; it reduces costs and delays! In the scope of an entire project the costs of a pre-site investigation are minimal, usually less than 0.05% of a project’s total cost!
DEVELOPER’S DREAM – PLANNING AHEAD
Just like the medical community, we believe having as much knowledge from non-invasive technologies can discover abnormalities without breaking the skin (or in our case the ground) better directs any project. Planning starts with research and carefully laid out methods of approach. A developer’s dream is to eliminate the unknowns and have a project start and end without difficulties. The use of GPR and EM methods on your site is the right tool to streamline your project.
