WITH THE introduction of the new ground breaking high tech equipment, the Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), Auckland-based plumbing and gas fitting company BT Plumbing & Gas LTD has the edge over its competitors to provide top quality service to its clients.

 

The GPR is a device that scans an area with the purpose of detecting hidden objects that can cause major hold ups for contractors beginning to dig. These can include objects such as underground cables which can result in big costs for customers.

 

How the GPR works is through radar pulses. These pulses provide an image of the sub-surface of the earth. By utilizing electromagnetic radiation in the microwave band of the radio spectrum, the GPR detects reflected signals from structures under the surface. Simply put, the GPR uses pluses to detect any irregular patterns in the earth that could provide inconvenience to workers. The GPR is also said to be a breakthrough for the Health and Safety field, not only does this product positively impact the plumbing industry, but also impacts any industry that includes the use of digging.

 

The introduction of this product is now shaping the way that earth-work based industries are being run.  BT Plumbing & Gas stresses that everyone engaged in this industry needs to take all practicable steps to ensure the safety of their staff, contractors, and any person onsite.  By getting the ground scanned before commencing work they are fulfilling their obligations.

 

GPR is ideal before carrying out landscaping or any type of digging work around the garden or property whether you are the home owner or a contractor.  At all times it pays to check first, so give us a call.
