See What Lies Beneath: High-Precision GPR for Geotech & Materials
When it comes to geotechnical surveys, materials testing, or soil analysis in agriculture, understanding what’s below the surface is critical — and Hylec Controls’ range of advanced Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) systems gives you the power to do exactly that.
Why our GPR systems are ideal for your projects:
Unrivalled Subsurface Imaging
- Our GROUND GPR sensor produces 3D, high‑resolution images with deep penetration, thanks to its 30 MHz to 4,500 MHz bandwidth and tightly spaced antenna channels.
Deep Penetration Capability
- The DEEP GPR sensor is engineered for very deep surveys, making it ideal for geotechnical and large-scale subsurface investigations.
Flexible Deployment
- The AIR GPR sensor is designed for airborne or drone‑based surveys — perfect for high-speed road, rail, or remote site assessments.
Precision at Multiple Depths
With the VIY5 series, you choose the frequency that matches your needs:
- VIY5‑300 (300 MHz) for deep geotechnical surveys — up to ~8 m depth.
- VIY5‑600 (600 MHz) for utility mapping and void detection.
- VIY5‑900 (900 MHz) for pinpointing rebar, cables, and cracks in concrete.
- VIY5‑1500 (1500 MHz) when you need ultra‑high resolution in materials or structural work.
Durable & Field‑Ready
- All VIY5 systems include rugged construction, IP-rated protection, and over 8 hours of battery life per charge.
Smart Connectivity & Processing
- These radars connect directly to your laptop via Wi‑Fi or USB, and support GPS or odometer linking for accurate geo-referenced surveys.
Enhanced Signal Quality
- Our radar units use Telbin signal processing to boost signal-to-noise ratio, plus real-time filtering and trace stacking for clearer data in challenging ground conditions.
In Your Industry:
- Geotechnical Engineers & Consultants — Map soil stratigraphy, locate voids, or assess subsurface heterogeneities with confidence.
- Materials Testing Labs — Non-destructively evaluate concrete structures, detect reinforcement or delamination, and perform quality assurance scans.
- Agricultural Scientists & Land Surveyors — Reveal buried root structures, subsurface water pathways, or buried farm infrastructure, helping you make smarter land-management decisions.
