Underground Detection with Ground Penetrating Radar
Advanced Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) surveys to locate underground pipes, cables, voids, and utilities without digging. Non-invasive subsurface imaging technology for construction, renovation, and infrastructure projects across Lanzarote.
Professional Underground Detection with Ground Penetrating Radar
Ground Penetrating Radar is a non-invasive technology that uses radar pulses to create images of what lies beneath the surface. Essential for anyone planning construction, renovation, or excavation work in Lanzarote, GPR surveys help you avoid damaging existing utilities and understand subsurface conditions before you start digging.
Signs You Need Underground Detection
- Planning construction or extension work
- Need to locate buried utilities before excavation
- Searching for lost or unmapped drainage systems
- Investigating voids or sinkholes
- Pre-purchase property surveys
- Planning pool or landscaping installations
- Suspecting underground water leaks

How We Perform Underground Detection
Our GPR surveys follow a systematic grid pattern to ensure nothing is missed. Data is collected in real-time and analysed by experienced technicians who can interpret the radar signals accurately.
- 1Consult on project requirements and survey area
- 2Plan survey grid pattern for comprehensive coverage
- 3Deploy GPR equipment across site
- 4Collect subsurface data in real-time
- 5Analyse radar data to identify buried objects
- 6Mark locations of utilities and anomalies on-site
- 7Provide detailed report with subsurface maps
Advanced Technology for Underground Detection
GPR works by transmitting radar pulses into the ground and recording the reflections from buried objects. Different materials reflect radar signals differently, allowing us to identify pipes, cables, voids, and more.
- Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) equipment
- Multiple antenna frequencies for different depths
- GPS integration for accurate location mapping
- Electromagnetic cable locators
- Specialist data analysis software
Benefits of Professional Underground Detection
GPR surveys prevent the expensive mistakes that come from accidentally hitting buried utilities. A small investment in surveying can save thousands in repair costs and project delays.
- Avoid costly damage to existing utilities
- Plan excavation work with confidence
- Locate lost or unmapped infrastructure
- Non-destructive surveying with no digging required
- Comprehensive subsurface mapping
- Reduce project delays from unexpected finds

Common Underground Detection Problems in Lanzarote
Lanzarote's unique geology presents specific underground detection challenges:
- Volcanic rock and lava flows creating unpredictable subsurface conditions
- Older properties with unmapped or forgotten drainage and utility routes
- Mixed construction periods leading to multiple pipe materials and depths
- Salt water intrusion affecting metal pipe condition in coastal areas
- Absence of accurate utility records for many rural properties
- Cave systems and natural voids in volcanic terrain
- Construction debris and historical ruins beneath developed areas
Emergency Underground Detection Available 24/7
If you've struck an underground utility or pipe during excavation, stop work immediately and contact the relevant utility company. We can provide emergency survey services to locate other utilities before continuing work, helping prevent further damage and ensuring worker safety.

Frequently Asked Questions about Underground Detection
Case Studies
Pre-Construction Pool Survey
YaizaProblem
A property owner wanted to install a swimming pool but had no records of underground utilities on the rural finca. Previous owners had made various modifications over decades.
Solution
Our GPR survey revealed the full picture: three separate water supply lines at different depths (one abandoned), electrical cable routing to an outbuilding, and an old cistern that everyone had forgotten existed.
Result
The pool location was adjusted to avoid utilities, the old cistern was incorporated into the garden design as a water feature, and the abandoned water line was properly capped. Construction proceeded without any utility strikes.
Lost Drainage Investigation
ArrecifeProblem
A commercial property had recurring flooding issues. Historic drainage plans didn't match reality, and the owner needed to find where the original drainage routes ran before installing new systems.
Solution
GPR survey combined with CCTV drain inspection revealed that the original drainage had been partially blocked during previous construction work and diverted through an undersized pipe.
Result
Armed with accurate mapping of all underground drainage, the contractor was able to connect to the original main drain and restore proper flow capacity. Flooding issues were eliminated.
