Ground Penetrating Radar Surveys
for Archaeology and Utility Detection
Trace By Trace Ltd
WHO WE ARE
We are a small team of Geophysical Consultants, based in Norfolk and Yorkshire. We carry out Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) surveys to map structures of archaeologic interest. We also provide utility detection services for small to medium sized construction projects. We are happy to consider projects at locations anywhere in England, Scotland and Wales.
Our Services
We are highly appreciative of your budget requirements. As experienced geophysicists, we love the explorative nature of any subsurface investigation, regardless of commercial gain to us. We will work with you to ensure you get the best data while keeping your expenditure at a minimum.
Archaeology
Are you an Archaeology Group looking to gain a better understanding of buried man made structures in your local area? Or are you a developer faced with archaeological conditions to a planning permission?
Ground penetrating radar is recognized as one of the best geophysical methods for mapping remains of stone walls, foundations, trenches, burial mounds etc, at depths from a few centimetres to a few metres below surface. We can carry out ground penetrating radar surveys tailored to your needs.
Self Builders
Contact us if you have a plot with unconfirmed cable and/or waterpipe routes. We are qualified to carry out utility detection surveys to PAS128 standards. Our GPR and radiodetection measurements will help you plan necessary diversion works before starting your foundation.
Tree Roots
GPR can be used to locate shallow tree roots. Knowing the root locations can help to make a decision on appropriate building materials for front drives, pavements and garden walls near large trees.
Legacy Waste
We are interested in locating buried waste on potential building or recreational sites that have had a previous use, for example former industrial sites where presence of metallic objects or containers is a possibility. Discuss your requirements with us, we will establish wether a GPR or other geophysical survey will be beneficial to your project.
