| Abstract | ||
| Data collection using traditional methods for detecting and mapping subsurface features can be need more time consuming and costly. Beside that the geological research project and Job cost estimating require accurate information about subsurface condition. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) can map and detect bedrock, buried objects (pipes, cables, etc), water table, soil profile, faults, voids and sinkholes quickly, easily, accurately, and cost effectively. The accurate location of buried utilities is imperative for contractors. Hitting a high voltage power line or water main con be dangerous, disruptive to citizens, as well as expensive. The main objective of this research is to introduce utility of using GPR in locate features such as buried tanks and pipes, locating underground pipes for efficient pipes system management and for avoiding damage during excavation have become a relevant issue in metropolitan areas. Gathering data inside the boundary of the University of Technology with the area approximately equal to (4320 m2), data processing using RAD EXPLORAR software with the helping of Geographic Information System (GIS) and Global Positioning System (GPS) to produce a GIS map have been carried out. The discussion of the result is included with the basic recommendation. | ||
