CAS UTILIZES STATE-OF-THE-ART 3-D RADAR TOMOGRAPHY

CAS employs the latest state-of-the-art technologies for subsurface utility investigations for over 20 years. From its early years of partnering with the developers of the first “True” 3D Radar equipment know as 3D Radar Tomography, to its current day use of Impulse Radar’s “Raptor”. 3D Radar is a powerful technology that provides for a continuous 3-dimensional scan of subsurface utilities with high levels of accuracy and allows for fast and efficient data collection. 3D Radar is especially beneficial for aged utility areas with poor or nonexistent record drawings. Utilizing 3D Radar for relocation of subsurface infrastructure projects is a very efficient and practical design tool to identifying subsurface conflicts prior to excavation during construction. The technology accelerates the design process on average of 30%, while increasing the accuracy of the design and substantially reducing contractor claims for utility conflicts. There are several benefits with 3D-GPR surveys vs single line data collection – no loss of information, true-3D visualizations and almost photography-like images, easier to interpret due to their intuitive character. Our current and past clients for 3D Radar and subsurface utility engineering services include federal, state, county, city government facilities; U.S. Naval facilities; NASA Facilities; Port Authorities; design engineers and contractors.

The Raptor - High Speed 3D Ground Penetrating Radar Array

Raptor is a state-of-the-art high-speed 3D-GPR Array enabling the very fast collection of 3D GPR data, at speeds in excess of 130 km/hr (80 miles/hour), @ 5 cm point intervals. Raptor is capable of survey speeds that eliminate the need for traffic control and safety vehicles. Conventional systems typically operate at no more than 30 km/hr, with similar settings.
Boost performance and improve workflow - Condor 3D tomography software is setting a new standard for speed and efficiency for array data. Field to a 3D tomographic image of the data is now measured in minutes and many data sets can be fully processed in a tailgate session in the field on a laptop!
Efficient Subsurface Mapping - Designed with simplicity in mind, Raptor will help you achieve maximum productivity and optimum results. The unique design allows antennas to be configured quickly, easily and expanded as needed. The density of collected data means that a single pass is all that is needed to obtain high quality 3D information of the line surveyed. Combined with the synchronization of accurate positional data, each survey line, or ‘swath’, can be precisely aligned to adjacent swaths. This optimizes the data gathering process for efficient subsurface mapping.
