GS9000 Multichannel GPR for 3D Utility Mapping and Structural Assessment

Overview | GX1 vs GX2 | SUE & Utilities | Structures & Pavements | Software & Outputs | Case Studies | Specifications | Support

Discuss Your Application

Collect high-density, georeferenced GPR data across wide areas and view the subsurface in 3D as you scan. Choose the GX2 array for SUE and utility mapping, or the GX1 array for structural, bridge and pavement investigations.

Best suited to:

  • Subsurface utility engineering
  • Utility locating and mapping
  • Civil and survey contractors
  • Road and corridor investigations
  • Void and subsurface anomaly surveys

Best suited to:

  • Bridge-deck investigations
  • Concrete cover and moisture mapping
  • Pavement and asphalt-layer assessment
  • Reinforcement mapping
  • Structural deterioration surveys

Recommended array: GX2

Recommended array: GX1

Why use the GS9000 instead of a conventional single-channel GPR?

Cover more ground

Collect multiple parallel profiles in one pass instead of uilding a grid line by line.

See results during acquisition

View georeferenced radargrams and time-slice information in the field rather than waiting until the data is returned to the office.

Produce repeatable mapped data

Combine wheel-positioned GPR data with GNSS, project coordinates and survey linework.

Use one platform for two very different applications

Exchange GX1 and GX2 arrays without purchasing two complete cart platforms.

High-density 3D GPR mapping for SUE and utility investigations

The GX2 transforms the GS9000 into a high-density subsurface utility mapping system. Its 11-channel, low-frequency GPR array captures an 83 cm-wide swath in each pass, helping operators detect and map buried pipes, ducts, cables, voids and other subsurface features. Live georeferenced data lets SUE teams review coverage on site and produce accurate CAD, GIS and project-coordinate deliverables.

  • Utility corridor mapping
  • Detection of pipes, ducts and cables
  • Mapping non-conductive services that may not respond to electromagnetic locating
  • Congested service investigations
  • Road-crossing and easement surveys
  • Potential void and cavity investigation
  • Pre-excavation and design-stage surveys
  • Utility mapping to project or local coordinates

The SUE field workflow

1. Plan the survey

Load satellite imagery, CAD information, project coordinates or survey control.

2. Collect dense multichannel data

Survey an approximately 0.82 m-wide swath with 11 channels in each pass.

3. Review data live

Examine radargrams, georeferenced time slices and marked features while still on site.

4. Interpret and digitise

Add points, linework, tags, photographs and field observations.

5. Process and deliver

Merge survey areas, apply processing and export mapped information for the customer’s CAD, GIS or reporting workflow.

Utest's automatic range of single testing chamber and double testing chamber compression and flexure testing machines have been designed for reliable and consistent testing of mortar samples.

These compression and flexure testers conform to the current standards AS/NZS 2350.11, Methods of testing portland, blended and masonry cements, Method 11: Compressive strength and international standards like EN 196-1, 459-2, 1015-11, 13454- 2; ASTM C 109, C348, C349 and BS 3892-1, 4551-1.

Accessories such as compression and flexure jigs and distance pieces should be ordered separately.

Operators may control the following parameters with the touchscreen control unit.

  • Pace rate control from 50 N/sec (flexure) to 2,4 kN/sec (compression)
  • Class 1 and Class A starting from with the 1 % for 250 kN and 15 kN capacity
  • Closed loop control with automatic test procedure.
  • Load control pace rates
  • Stand-Alone control or computer control
  • Free of charge Utest software(USOFT-4830.FPR) for the tests
  • Load cells for force measurements

U-Touch PRO Control Unit

The UTC-4930.FPR Control Unit is designed to perform compression, flexure and splitting tensile strength tests of construction materials such as cement mortar, concrete and masonary units/blocks. Tests will require a JIg that matches the desired Australian of International Test standard

All the operations of U-Touch PRO are controlled from the front panel touch screen display, supporintg charts of  "Load vs. Time", or "Stress vs. Time".

UTEST Software

USOFT-4830.FPR software provides a computer link to operate Compression and Flexural tests to standard.

Safety Features

  • Maximum pressure valves to avoid machine overloading
  • Piston travel limit switch
  • Emergency stop button
  • Software controlled maximum load value
  • Removable transparent front-rear safety doors (Factory installed and ordered separately)

Maximum horizontal clearance for placing sample is limited with the border of the platens. Sample must be placed such that its ends will not overlap the ends of platens and it must be centered perfectly. The suitable vertical clearance for specimen can be adjusted with distance pieces.

Dual Stage Pump

5-DUAL-STAGE-PUMP

On a dual stage pump, a high delivery, low pressure gear pump is used for rapid approach, while a low delivery, high pressure radial piston pump is used for test execution. The Rapid approach facility shortens the time interval from piston start until the upper platen touches to the specimen.

This feature helps to save a lot of time when a large number of specimens are going to be tested.

Other Available Systems

Manual and Semi-Automatic hydraulic power packs are also available. UTEST also produce a range of advanced servo-controlled Automatic Power Packs with proportional valve.

High-resolution multichannel GPR for structures, bridges and pavements

The GX1 transforms the GS9000 into a high-resolution structural assessment system for concrete slabs, bridge decks and pavements. Its dense, dual-polarisation array captures detailed 3D data across wide areas, supporting reinforcement and cover mapping, moisture and deterioration assessment, and analysis of asphalt and pavement layers. Live visualisation helps confirm survey coverage on site, while post-processing tools produce clear, report-ready condition maps.

  • Bridge-deck reinforcement and condition mapping
  • Concrete-cover mapping
  • Reinforcement layout and spacing
  • Moisture-related and deterioration mapping
  • Asphalt and pavement-layer thickness
  • Road and runway investigations
  • Detection of embedded features
  • Large-area concrete-slab investigations
  • Comparative and repeat surveys

The structural assessment workflow

1. Define the inspection area

Import the structure, bridge, pavement or survey background.

2. Collect closely spaced profiles

Capture 35 longitudinal and 15 cross-polarised channels with dense spacing.

3. Review coverage in the field

Use live radargrams and time slices to confirm that the required area has been captured.

4. Process the dataset

Apply velocity, gain, background removal, migration, filtering and topographic correction as appropriate.

5. Generate diagnostic maps

Create depth slices, reinforcement maps, layer information or application-specific condition maps.

6. Integrate with the engineering assessment

Export figures, mapped anomalies and raw data for inclusion in the engineer’s final interpretation and report.
