    UtilityScan Pro uses penetrating radar to efficiently identify and mark the location and depth of subsurface utilities, including gas, sewer, communication lines, and other metallic and non-metallic targets, including underground storage tanks and PVC pipe.

     

    Featuring the SIR 4000 control unit, the UtilityScan Pro delivers the configurability and flexibility to address a wide range of utility applications.

     

    It also allows for real-time data collection, with a back-up cursor and cross-hair cursor that enable users to accurately locate targets. Additionally, the GPR system allows users to use multiple different techniques to calculate the depth of targets for added flexibility. It effortlessly integrates with GPS and has the ability to store and replay data easily.
