Lenmar goes underground
Lenmar Developments, based in Dublin, is using a Vermeer
Interragator II ground penetrating radar to offer site mapping of
existing underground services to contractors and utility suppliers.
The machine can detect items as small as 20mm wide up to 460mm
below the surface, while larger items can be detected at a depth of
6.1m.
Lenmar Development was formed after its own groundwork company
highlighted the need for accurate underground information to avoid
hitting hazards such as live power cables.
The machine can also detect bedrock and the water table.
