Ground Penetrating Radar Underwater for Condition Assessment of Stilling Basins
In today’s infrastructure inspection world, advanced technologies like Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) are revolutionizing how we assess the health of underwater structures. One such important application is the condition assessment of stilling basins , which are crucial components in dams and hydro projects. These basins reduce the energy of flowing water and protect downstream structures, making their maintenance vital for overall safety. Parsan , a leader in geophysical services, is among the few companies successfully deploying GPR under challenging underwater environments for accurate analysis. What is Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)? GPR is a non-destructive technique that uses radar pulses to image the subsurface. It is widely used in geotechnical surveys, infrastructure assessments, and now — thanks to recent advancements — even in underwater conditions.
