Surveys for Engineers & Surveyors
Design depends on knowing the subsurface. Engineers and surveyors use combined EM and GPR surveys to map utilities and structure with quality levels they can design around.
Leaks.ca is the educational leak detection hub and service-support division of Leak.ca, helping BC property owners understand leak risks and connect with professional detection services when needed.
Civil, structural and geotechnical engineers and land surveyors need mapped, quality-rated subsurface data — utility routes and depths, slab structure, voids — to design, assess and reduce the risk of subsurface surprises.
What Engineers & Surveyors Need
Methods for Engineers & Surveyors
Combine EM and GPR into one quality-rated picture of everything below the site.
Turn a locate into a record: depths, routes and a map your team can use and keep.
Measure slab thickness and map structure non-destructively, without coring to check.
Find the voids under slabs and ground that signal washout, settlement or sinkhole risk.
Neither alone finds everything. Here's how EM and GPR cover each other's blind spots.
FAQ
Combined EM and GPR surveys map utility routes and estimated depths, measure slab thickness and structure, and detect voids — delivered as a quality-rated record. It's the non-destructive basis for design, with potholing reserved for where exact depth is critical.
