How Much Does a GPR Survey Cost?
A GPR survey typically costs between £500 and £2,000, depending on the survey area's size and complexity. Factors such as terrain, depth, and the detail required can influence the price, as difficult terrain or increased depth may require specialised equipment like multi-frequency antennas to ensure accurate results.
The survey might involve expert techniques such as radargram and time-slice analysis, which add to the complexity and cost. Larger or more complex sites tend to incur higher costs due to the extensive data capture and analysis involved, possibly extending the survey duration from one to several days.
We adhere to industry standards like PAS 128 for civil engineering projects to ensure the highest level of accuracy. At CASP Surveys, we offer tailored quotes based on your specific needs and site conditions.

What Are the Benefits of GPR Surveys?
GPR surveys offer multiple advantages essential for various industries. With the ability to penetrate a variety of materials such as concrete, soil, and asphalt, GPR is instrumental in many site assessments.
Key benefits include:
Non-destructive Testing: Identify subsurface features, like pipes and voids, without the need for costly and disruptive excavation.
High Precision: Obtain detailed maps with high-frequency antennas, enabling centimetre-scale resolution crucial for accurate planning and risk assessment.
Versatile Application: Suitable for construction, archaeology, utility detection, and even environmental studies, adapting to different client needs.
Quick Deployment: Equipment can be set up rapidly, providing real-time data and immediate results, which accelerates project timelines.
Our GPR surveys are compliant with industry standards such as PAS 128 for subsurface utility detection. With these benefits, our GPR surveys provide a reliable solution for comprehensive site understanding.

How Do GPR Surveys Work?
GPR surveys use radar pulses to detect changes in subsurface materials. Here's a brief overview of the process:
Preparation: Determine the area to be surveyed and set up equipment.
Data Collection: Move the GPR unit across the site to emit radar pulses.
Analysis: Interpret reflections from subsurface structures to map features.
Reporting: Produce a detailed visual report of the findings.
This method provides clear insights into underground conditions, aiding in informed decision-making. Get in touch for more details on how GPR surveys can benefit your project.
How Long Does a GPR Survey Take?
The duration of a GPR survey typically ranges from a few hours to a couple of days. This depends on the site's size, complexity, and the specific objectives of the survey.
For example, a small commercial property with a straightforward layout might only require a morning of work, especially when no underground utilities are present. In contrast, surveying a historic site with intricate structural features and potential archaeological interests can require up to two days.
We use advanced RadSys equipment capable of penetrating depths of up to 15 metres, enabling us to survey various substrates like concrete and soil efficiently. Factors such as access to the site and weather conditions can also influence the timescale.
We aim to perform surveys efficiently, strictly adhering to BSI standards for data accuracy. For a precise timetable suited to your project, contact CASP Surveys to discuss your needs.
