Methods and Media
Ground penetrating radar (GPR)
Areal detection of plastic pipes, structural remnants and pipe coils in concrete, even without an access point.
Electromagnetic locating
Traces metallic lines and cables from the surface, providing route and depth information.
Camera inspection (TV inspection)
Inspection of sewers DN 100–1200 with locating probe, coding according to DWA-M 149 and ISYBAU assessment.
Coding according to ATV-M
Alternative standard for assessment in sewer inspections, depending on the client.
GPS/GNSS and total station surveying
Positionally accurate surveying of located routes for cadastre and GIS handover.
