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:
Best suited to:
Recommended array: GX2
Recommended array: GX1
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.
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.
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.
The Equotip 550 is a versatile hardness tester for on-site testing of heavy, large or installed parts. It is compatible with upcoming developments, such as other measuring principles and new types of probes etc. The new-generation display unit with touchscreen leverages the high measuring accuracy with an unmatched user experience leading to increased measurement efficiency. It also comes loaded with interactive wizards, handpicked for specific industry applications in order to increase reliability and to assure precise measurements, including oil & gas, automotive, aerospace and steel-working applications.
The Equotip 550 Portable Rockwell is a static hardness measurement solution which is highly appreciated for applications on thin or light samples. Furthermore, it can be used on almost all materials without special adjustments, which also makes it popular to use as a reference method for other measurement principles. A wide variety of accessories makes it very versatile. Unique measuring clamp and support feet are available for the probe allowing tests to be carried out on various geometries.
Particularly suited for scratch-sensitive and polished parts or on thin parts, profiles and pipes. The required minimum thickness for a reliable hardness reading is ten times the indentation depth. For the mass there is no minimum requirement. The Equotip 550 Portable Rockwell can be utilized for on-site, factory and lab environment with almost no limitation
The test principle of the Equotip Portable Rockwell follows the traditional Rockwell static test method. During measurements with the Equotip Portable Rockwell Probe, a diamond indenter is forced into the test piece using a precisely controlled force. The indentation depth of the diamond is continuously measured while a load is applied and released. From the indentation depths d1 and d2 recorded at two defined loads, the difference is calculated: Δ = d2 – d1. This is traditionally referred to as plastic deformation.

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.
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.
