At 1300Locate, we are proudly known as one of the industries pioneers for our ground penetrating radar services (GPR Services) for utility detection across Australia. In our humble beginnings, 1300Locate purchased one of the first GPR units, which was manufactured by IDS back in 2007, using radio waves to gather data from beneath the earth’s surface. Since then, we have worked tirelessly to have this valuable tool accepted amongst the building, construction, and industrial industry. Now, the ground penetrating radar unit has become a recognised and sought-after piece of equipment that is used when utilities cannot be found using traditional methods. It is the perfect plan B for ground scanning!

Our Ground Penetrating Radar Services (GPR Services)
The IDS Opera Duo
At 1300Locate, we utilise the IDS Opera Duo – a dual-frequency ground penetrating radar system operating simultaneously at 250MHz and 700MHz. This powerful ground scanning technology enables both shallow and deep subsurface detection in a single pass, offering superior accuracy across a variety of environments. GPR technology has significantly enhanced the ability of utility locators to detect a broader range of subsurface features.
Our ground penetrating radar Brisbane services are ideal for:
- Locating utilities under concrete, asphalt, or areas without surface features
- Identifying post-tension cables and rebar in concrete
- Detecting buried manholes, road crossings, and voids
- Mapping stormwater, sewer, water, and fire service lines
- Finding non-metallic pipes like poly and fibre-cement
- Locating empty conduits, underground storage tanks, and unmapped services
- Pinpointing telecommunications lines, including NBN and optic fibre
- Detecting gas mains, both metallic and non-metallic
- Identifying geological changes, sinkholes, or subsidence areas
- Scanning for structural elements prior to drilling, cutting, or excavation
Why Use GPR?
GPR complements traditional service locating by detecting materials that electromagnetic tools often miss, especially non-metallic services. It’s a non-destructive, efficient way to scan underground and reduce risk on-site. Avoid costly delays, service strikes, and safety hazards. For reliable ground penetrating radar Brisbane solutions, 1300Locate uses the latest GPR equipment and expert analysis to ensure every scan is accurate and every project starts with confidence.
