Snowmobile-mode GPR Surveys
Purpose: Snowmobile-mode Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) surveys enable efficient data collection over snow-covered or rugged terrains, particularly where traditional methods are too slow or challenging. By mounting the GPR system on a snowmobile sleigh, these surveys can cover large areas quickly, providing valuable subsurface insights in difficult environments.
Applications:
Large-scale and Rapid Surveying: Ideal for projects requiring extensive coverage, this mode allows for high-speed data acquisition across vast, snow-covered landscapes or areas with rough ground conditions.
Remote and Challenging Terrain Mapping: Snowmobile-mode GPR is effective for reaching remote areas that may be inaccessible by foot, ensuring thorough subsurface mapping even in severe conditions.
Technical Process: The GPR unit is mounted on a durable snowmobile sleigh, with a counter wheel extending behind to trigger readings at precise intervals. This setup enables continuous data collection as the snowmobile moves, capturing detailed information on subsurface features in real-time.
Key Uses: Snowmobile-mode GPR surveys are essential for efficient subsurface analysis in remote, snowy, or rugged terrains. They are valuable for environmental studies, geological mapping, and infrastructure planning in regions where fast, reliable ground coverage is critical.
