Pitt Meadows ground conditions & what they mean for GPR
Local geology: Pitt Meadows sits on polder lowlands — silts and organics behind dykes, high water table. Among BC's wettest GPR ground; shallow imaging works, deep targets need EM and acoustic support. Drainage infrastructure density is the defining local feature.
Local building stock: Dyke-protected farmland with pump-drained fields, compact town centre, and airport-industrial lands.

- Field drainage mapping
- Airport-area utility locates
- Shallow service tracing in the town core
- Anchor bolt layouts
- Electrical conduit avoidance
- Wall penetrations
How the Pitt Meadows site visit works
- 1
Scan the penetration points
Each drill or anchor location gets a local 1.6 GHz scan in two directions — a 60-second operation per point.
- 2
Distinguish targets
Rebar, conduit, and pipe have distinct reflection signatures and depths; each is identified and labelled.
- 3
Mark clear zones
Safe drilling windows marked directly on the surface; obstructed points get an offset recommendation.
- 4
Same-visit clearance
Crews typically drill immediately after marking — one mobilisation, zero strikes.
Pitt Meadows questions, answered
How small a conduit can GPR see?
A 12 mm conduit at 50 mm depth resolves clearly with the 1.6 GHz antenna. Resolution decreases with depth — at 300 mm, closely spaced small targets can merge — which is why we scan every penetration point individually rather than extrapolating.
Hitting one conduit doesn't sound expensive. Why scan?
A severed feeder in a live commercial building means an electrician, an outage, possibly a fire-watch, and a schedule slip — routinely $5,000–$50,000 against a scan that costs a few hundred dollars. Hitting a water line in a wall is worse. The economics are not close.
Can you scan walls and ceilings, not just floors?
Yes — the concrete antenna works on any orientation. Wall penetrations for sleeves and ceiling anchors for mechanical hangers are everyday scans.
Do you mark directly on the surface?
Yes — targets in one colour, safe windows in another, photographed for the report. Crews drill against the marks the same visit.
How deep can GPR scan in Pitt Meadows?
Pitt Meadows sits on polder lowlands — silts and organics behind dykes, high water table. Among BC's wettest GPR ground; shallow imaging works, deep targets need EM and acoustic support. Drainage infrastructure density is the defining local feature. We select antenna frequency to match — and where local ground limits radar depth, we pair GPR with electromagnetic locating, acoustic methods, or tracer gas so the survey objective is met regardless of soil conditions.
