Nationwide Retail Bollard Installations

• A national retail organization and gas station owner plans to install tens of thousands of stationary safety bollards to protect their buildings, employees, and customers from vehicle incursions
• Gas stations have a particularly complex subsurface infrastructure, much of it undocumented, so installing physical barriers could cause unnecessary damages and risk during the excavation phase
• The national retailer is using multiple general contractors across the U.S. for installation, so they need comprehensive and accurate subsurface facilities location and concrete scanning to maintain informational control

‍

• GPRS was hired to provide EM and GPR utility locating andGPR concrete scans for more than 1,000 retail locations across the U.S.
• We delivered all scans and utility mapping digitally, via either a Job Services Report (for concrete scans) or SiteMap^®(for utility mapping) to the retailer and their contractors

• GPRS’ national footprint provided the retailer with a rapid response team of GPR and safety experts equipped to provide excavation clearances at more than 1,000 locations, and can continue to provide clearances as the program expands
• Our adherence to Subsurface Investigation Methodology (SIM) meant the retailer could expect a consistent, extremely high level of accuracy, regardless of location
• Digital deliverables provide data and version control to the client, so they can provide the most up-to-date, accurate subsurface information to their contractors
