PLAN BETTER
Outdated or missing as-builts don’t just slow you down, they put your entire project at risk. That’s why architects and engineers turn to GPRS Reality Capture Services to get the accurate data they need right from the start.
From early-stage design to renovations, MEP planning, and clash detection, our high-resolution laser scans and BIM modeling deliver precise digital representations of your space – both above and below ground.
Think of GPRS as an extension of your team. We provide digital twins, updated utility as-builts, and tailored deliverables that empower you to detect clashes early, reduce change orders, eliminate rework, and keep timelines intact.
Build BETTER
Every delay, change order, or unexpected utility strike eats into your profits and puts your crew at risk. Stop guessing and start building with confidence. The key to a successful project? Accurate data, efficient workflows, and zero surprises.
GPRS gives you the power to take control of your job site. Our advanced utility locating, concrete scanning, reality capture, video pipe inspection, and leak detection services deliver 99.8% accuracy, so you can dig, drill, and build with certainty.
Get a clear view, both above and below-ground, with our SiteMap® platform (patent pending), that combines updated underground utility locations and concrete reinforcement data and your site’s aboveground infrastructure. SiteMap helps you make faster decisions, cut costs, and stay safe.
MANAGE BETTER
Scattered information and outdated as-builts aren’t just inconvenient, they’re a liability. When you're starting a new project, inaccurate data can lead to delays, added costs, and unexpected damage.
GPRS eliminates that risk by confirming known utilities, validating floor plans and structural information, uncovering unknowns, and giving your team a complete, accurate view of your facility – both above and below-ground – before work begins.
Take control with SiteMap®, our powerful GIS platform that brings all your infrastructure data together in one secure, easy-to-use hub. Utility lines, structural elements, water and sewer systems, and facility details – delivered in real time and shareable with your entire team at the click of a button.
SiteMap® Is a project & facility management software application that provides accurate existing condition documentation to protect your assets & people. Visualize your world as it's being built with SiteMap®. See how simple it is to access, read, and share information in this intuitive, secure user interface: Current GPRS customers all receive a complimentary SiteMap® Personal subscription with their utility locate.

UTILITY LOCATING Services
811 submits your excavation notification to registered utility facilities within your proposed excavation area. However, not all private utility lines are registered, meaning they would not be marked by member companies, making them the property owner’s responsibility.
To fully visualize the buried infrastructure on your property, it’s vital that you hire a professional utility locating company like GPRS in addition to contacting 811. Our SIM-certified Project Managers employ ground penetrating radar (GPR), electromagnetic (EM) locators, CCTV video cameras, acoustic water leak locators and other equipment to scan for subsurface utilities, including depths and GPS mapping, saving time, money, and even lives by avoiding utility strikes to protect all site employees and contractors from potential line strike damages.
GPRS provides complimentary .KMZ files for all our exterior utility locating projects. Our utility mapping services can create an updated as-built drawing for your campus or facility. GPR services can also be used to locate underground storage tanks (USTs), unknown utilities, and even manholes and well heads.

///Georeferenced Utility Linework Overlay
GPRS provides complimentary utility maps for every utility locating project – in easy-to-use file formats like .shp, .kmz. and .pdf. This linework is overlaid on background imagery and delivered immediately upon completion of a project. By supplying updated existing condition drawings, we ensure clients have actionable data for planning, designing or excavation.
///CAD – 2D Utility Site Plan
The GPRS Mapping & Modeling Team can aggregate GPRS field markings into a CAD utility site plan that shows the accurate vertical and horizontal position of underground utility locations. This site plan will help you visualize your project in the planning or design phase, during construction, or even as a permanent record of existing conditions.
///CAD – 3D UTILITY SITE PLAN
GPRS can create a 3D as-built model of the utility infrastructure on your construction site or facility/campus. GPRS collection devices such as gpr, electromagnetic induction, and CCTV video pipe inspection cameras gather site information. 3D visualization of utilities based on the 3D utility data model can be expanded to include above ground features for VDC coordination.
///GIS Infrastructure Software Application
SiteMap® is an application that can visualize georeferenced utility data, site photos and videos, BIM Models, and CAD files all in one platform. The platform is free for GPRS customers and also has available subscription tiers for different construction and facility needs. SiteMap® shows data in a customizable, intuitive, affordable platform that updates data in minutes.

3D LASER SCANNING
Laser focused Solutions///
///MECHANICAL ELECTRICAL & PLUMBING
As the leading provider of 3D laser scanning and BIM modeling services, we revolutionize mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) design processes. Our laser scanning captures precise measurements of existing structures, while our BIM modeling integrates this data for accurate visualization and coordination of MEP elements. This ensures optimal spatial layouts, enhances efficiency, and minimizes errors and rework, delivering superior results for our clients' projects.
///ABOVE & BELOW GRADE
Incorporate your design plans into current infrastructure and underground systems prior to commencing construction. This ensures that your architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) team, subcontractors, and stakeholders receive a complete 3D BIM model. This model seamlessly integrates 3D Laser Scanning data, Utility Locations, Video Pipe Inspection results, and GPR Data, enabling an intelligent visualization of both existing structures and proposed additions – above and below ground.
///ARCHITECTURAL & STRUCTURAL
We leverage 3D laser scanning and reality capture to revolutionize architectural and engineering practices, generating precise as-built representations and digital twins of structures. Integration into BIM models helps by reducing change orders, work stoppages, budget overruns, and design errors. Laser scanning offers architects and engineers detailed visualization of the built world, enhancing understanding and decision-making in project planning.
///POINT CLOUDS
Point clouds and 3D Laser Scanning assist the AEC industry with accurate built-world data for planning and execution. They reveal insights into infrastructure and MEP features, aiding clash detection, route optimization, and error prevention. Additionally, point clouds facilitate precise as-built documentation, enhancing project accuracy and accountability. They also enable virtual reality simulations for immersive project visualization, fostering better communication and decision-making among stakeholders.
