Ground Penetrating Radar for
Underground Applications
Reutech Mining has introduced a compact
and convenient ground penetrating
radar system that is claimed to be more
user-friendly than comparable products
currently available. The Sub Surface
Profiler (SSP) is described as a low-cost,
lightweight GPR designed specifically for
the challenges of the underground mining
environment, weighing less than 4.5
kg with a patented, compact ergonomic
design that allows one-handed operation
by one person in much the same way as a
paint roller. The SSP has been designed
to be extremely power efficient, and uses
small, rechargeable batteries that can be
replaced during operation. Collected data
is wirelessly transmitted to a tablet computer,
where it is processed in real time,
providing instant feedback about fault
structures that may be present up to 6 m
inside a rock mass.
