CURBSIDE PICKUPS, SIGNAGE, AND DRIVETHROUGH EXPANSIONS

Expanding curbside pick-ups & drive-throughs for groceries, big box stores, QSRs, and financial institutions means more stations, signs, bollards, and pedestals. Installing them without knowing your existing conditions above and below-ground puts you at risk for clashes, rework, and utility strikes.

TENANT IMPROVEMENT AND ADAPTIVE REUSE

Planning updates or completing due diligence prior to purchase requires everything: accurate BOMA calculations and floor plans, utility maps, sewer inspections, concrete clearances, and BIM models to get the job done. GPRS can handle it all: Reality capture, utility locates, concrete scans, sewer system maps, and more.

NEW CONSTRUCTION RETAIL ROLL-OUTS

Store remodels, product launches, and relocating cash wraps can all require you cut reinforced concrete. Knowing where you can cut, core, and anchor safely without clashes, striking an electrical line, or critical concrete reinforcement, is vital to avoid injuries, damages, and delays for a safe and successful project.

MULTI-SITE SOLUTIONS

Consistent, accurate, and actionable site data gives you control – of workflows, schedules, and budgets – for one store or hundreds of locations. GPRS provides 99.8% accurate utility and concrete data, construction-grade structural reality capture, NASSCO-certified video pipe inspections, and more, with scalable solutions that put you in control.

2nd-GEN SPACES

Second-generation commercial spaces or 2nd-Gen spaces come with existing infrastructure – and hidden risks. GPRS helps architects, engineers, and contractors confidently repurpose these spaces with expert utility locating, concrete scanning, and 3D laser scanning services. We deliver accurate utility maps, concrete imaging, point clouds, 2D CAD drawings, and 3D BIM models to reduce surprises, delays, and costs.

GPRS Delivers Complete Infrastructure Visualization

GPRS provides as-built construction services to the commercial and retail industry. Our utility locating, concrete scanning, 3D laser scanning, video pipe inspection, and leak detection services capture precise architectural, structural, and MEP details, plus subsurface utility and concrete reinforcement locations of restaurant and retail locations for layout, renovation, and construction projects. GPRS services can be used for a variety of construction applications, from existing as-built drawings and utility maps to plan for renovation and maintenance, to 3D BIM models documenting layout and equipment, and more.

GPRS is the only company in the U.S. that can capture your entire building or site, above and below-ground, to provide you with accurate as-builts, private and public utility maps, 2D CAD drawings, 3D BIM models, virtual tours, WinCan reports, and more documenting architectural, structural, MEP, and subsurface utility existing conditions, and deliver data instantly via SiteMap^®, GPRS’ cloud-based digital storage software and app.

Utility Locating Services

GPRS utility locating services utilize ground penetrating radar (GPR) and electromagnetic (EM) locating technology to locate, mark, and map existing underground infrastructure such as power lines, gas lines, pipelines, water lines, sewer lines, potential voids, and additional buried facilities and utility lines. This information is critical for projects where construction or excavation activities are planned to mitigate accidental utility strikes, plus keep your team and facility safe. GPRS delivers complimentary CAD utility site maps in PDF, KMZ, and SHP file formats, and can export your utility data into a wide variety of drawings, maps, and models to advance communication and collaboration on your project. All clients receive instant access to complete and aggregated site records in Sitemap^® GPRS’ digital storage software and app, where data is geolocated, layered, and securely shareable.

Concrete Scanning Services

Concrete scanning is a non-destructive method to assess concrete using GPR to locate, identify, and mark utilities and objects such as rebar, post tension cables, beams, conduits, and piping embedded within concrete slabs and structures prior to anchoring, cutting, coring, and drilling. Concrete scanning ensures the safety of workers and prevents accidents by identifying potential hazards before any work occurs. Concrete markings can be 3D laser scanned to create a permanent record of the site, data can be delivered in 2D CAD drawings, 3D BIM models, and virtual site tours.

3D Laser Scanning Services

GPRS 3D laser scanning services document the exact architectural, structural, and MEP system layout and dimensions of existing buildings, facilities, and sites. GPRS Project Managers use industry-leading Leica survey-grade laser scanners to capture 2-4 millimeter accurate existing site conditions in the form of a point cloud. Our in-house Mapping & Modeling Team can transform those point clouds into customized 2D CAD drawings, 3D BIM models, 3D mesh models, TruViews, and 3D virtual tours at any level of detail for visualization, analysis, design, construction, renovation, prefabrication, and facility modifications.

Video Pipe Inspection Services

GPRS video pipe inspection services deploy robotic crawler CCTV cameras, lateral launch cameras, and push cameras to inspect and document water, sewer lines, and lateral pipelines to locate clogs, investigate cross bores, find structural faults and damage, and conduct lateral sewer line inspections. GPRS Project Managers deliver NASSCO-certified WinCan reports with the exact location, video, and photo of each defect, ranked by severity so you can plan for maintenance and repairs.

Leak Detection Services

GPRS specializes in all types of leak detection services, including municipal, industrial, and residential. Our Project Managers are leak detection specialists who utilize multiple technologies to locate your leak and the expertise to map and provide many other insights into your water distribution and/or fire suppression systems. GPRS does this by utilizing a variety of equipment paired with our industry-leading SIM (Subsurface Investigation Methodology) processes. The equipment and methods used include acoustic leak detectors, leak noise correlators, video pipe inspection (CCTV) cameras & sondes, ground penetrating radar, and electromagnetic locating, among others.

CUSTOM SERVICE PLANS

Rather than send a rigid rate sheet to prospective clients, GPRS can create a customized service plan. We take into account our industry experience, national footprint, and operational/scheduling capacity to craft a customized plan just for you.

Scheduling

With one single point of contact for your company, GPRS can schedule underground utility locating, 3D laser scanning, concrete scanning, video pipe inspection, and void detection services for your site with a simple phone call. There is no need to call multiple service providers across a region or nationally. GPRS has Project Managers in every major market in the US and our single point of contact will simplify your scheduling process.

Pricing

GPRS understands that clear, understandable, and consistent pricing is a big deal. Our nationwide footprint allows us to streamline our costs on a nationwide basis. We are sure to craft a cost structure that makes sense for the scope of work. Rather than send a blanket rate sheet, we consultatively compose pricing plans for each project.

Approach

Every campus, site, and facility pose different challenges. Since our inception, GPRS has completed hundreds of thousands of projects and relies on that experience when crafting a site-specific plan for safety, scanning, and reporting. With the SIM Specification as our guide, we will craft an individualized approach to each and every project. We Intelligently Visualize The Built World^® from facility mapping to utility locating prior to excavation, and will perform the right service for your scope of work.

Mapping and modeling - GPRS - Ground Penetrating Radar

mapping & Modeling

GPRS improves project planning and communication by providing clear and understandable maps and models to help you Visualize The Built World^® and share your vision with subcontractors, designers, engineers, and others, easily.

GPRS delivers the most up-to-date, accurate and comprehensive site data possible in the format required for your project. We provide complimentary KMZ and PDF maps with every utility locate we perform. Our Mapping & Modeling Team can create a wide variety of customizable maps and models, from a simple GPS-enabled map of your utility locate, to highly-detailed 2D CAD drawings and 3D BIM models, depending on your needs.

AS BUILT DRAWINGS

Existing drawings don't always show the current conditions of a site. Drawings that are produced in the design phase of a project don't always reflect the exact location of the underground utilities and current as built site conditions. Renovations, repairs, and additions can all render as built drawings out of date. The GPRS Mapping & Modeling Team can deliver up-to-date as built drawings that reflect the actual vertical and horizontal position of underground facilities & features, and structural, architectural, and MEP site details.

2D MAPS & 3D MODELS

Utility locates, concrete scanning, and 3D laser scan data can be processed into up-to-date 2D maps and 3D models to ensure that your team has all the information you need to get the job done right. These maps and models provide an accurate record of utility locations and as-builts for project planning.

The GPRS Mapping & Modeling Team will deliver point cloud data, 2D CAD drawings, 3D BIM models, 3D meshes, TruViews, and virtual tours produced with the highest quality standards. We provide high-precision custom analysis and calculations such as dimensional callouts, tank calibration analysis, floor flatness and levelness analysis, deviation analysis, deformation analysis, volume calculations, wall plumb analysis, and more.

Maps, models, and analyses are produced and hosted for your use at any level of detail in a variety of formats such as Revit, AutoCAD, ReCap, Navisworks, Civil 3D, BIM360, A360, Bentley, Leica Cyclone, Cintoo, NavVis Ivion, and more. The GPRS Mapping & Modeling Team has optimized workflows for importing data, registration, creating maps and models, quality checks, and transferring data to clients. We deliver the data you need in the format you need to access up-to-date and accurate facility and infrastructure information.

SITEMAP^® MOBILE APP

When we conduct an underground utility locate, GPRS stores all subsurface infrastructure data in SiteMap^®, a secure digital platform that houses all your utility locate PDF and KMZ files. You can access your data from any laptop or mobile device and securely share it with your team. Within your files, you will find interactive subsurface maps, annotations, and more, where you can toggle layers and lines on or off to streamline information and communicate only the data you need. You can even measure site features and segment maps geographically to drill down to specific project points for prefabrication or excavation needs.
‍

GPRS Project Managers can complete multiple mobilizations to a jobsite – before, during and after construction – to record subsurface and as built data in real-time. The data captured can be tied together into living maps and models and saved into a database for reference.

How can GPRS can help you streamline your next project to Intelligently Visualize Your Built World^®?

One Call Program

GPRS exceeds industry performance when it comes to the accuracy of our utility locating. Our team of Project Managers can continue the support of your project by crafting a one-call program from when your project transitions to the O&M phase.

Public Property

Damage prevention is critical when excavating in a public right-of-way. Using the 811, call before you dig system, is an essential step to take when trying to avoid underground utility strikes. It's the law! GPRS is able to contract and perform one-call type utility locating for your underground assets.

Private Property

A utility locate on private property is not complete until a private utility locator like GPRS has been called to comprehensively locate the entire campus. GPRS can create a one-call type program for your facility or campus in the case that you have utilities that lie within public property.

Embedment

Our highly trained Project Managers have extensive experience locating conduits, rebar, cables, pipes, ducts, sleeves, and other hazards embedded in concrete slabs and other structures with ground penetrating radar technology. Cutting, coring, or drilling into these objects can cause damage to utilities and jeopardize the health and safety of workers on site.
