Instructor: Dan Bigman, Bigman Geophysical LLC

This workshop will begin with a review of the basic concepts of ground penetrating radar and the application of this increasingly popular technology to utility locating and damage prevention. Classroom discussion will focus on the GPR signal, problems with different project sites and soils, how to interpret utility data and best practices. For the hands-on portion of the workshop, the students will get a start-to-finish walkthrough of the settings and system setup, proper operation, data collection, interpretation, and mark-out best practices. Students can bring their own GPR units as this training is brand agnostic.
