FORENSICS

Ground Penetrating Radar is a key tool used to assist law enforcement, forensics, and crime scene investigators by locating buried metallic and nonmetallic objects underground in urban/rural environments. Accu-Scan GPR along with it’s advanced GPR investigative system is capable of providing valuable information to law enforcement agencies about the subsurface which is considered to be undetectable when viewed from the surface. GPR can aid ruling out suspect areas in just minutes and non-invasively. GPR is able to investigate over asphalt, soil, concrete, pavement, and walls.

GPR FAQ’S

Why use a private utility locator?

The 811 “Call Before You Dig” service does not mark private utilities (private homes, business and or office property), they only notify the property owner of their utility providers – gas, water, and or telecommunication on main city owned roads, for example. These participating member utilities will not mark private properties. 811 “call before you dig” will locate and mark only primary public utilities, so it’s up to you to know and to track what’s buried on your property!

Private Utilities are the buried lines after the meter or main lines. If you have a meter going towards your home or business, then your property will not get marked by “811” utility locators. Other buried utilities that generally are not marked include but may not be limited to: sewer lines, cesspools, sprinklers, fire mains, buried conduits, and septic lines.

WE WILL:

• Determine if plots are vacant or inhabited.
•  Help keep records current or bring records up to date.
•  Locate skeleton/large bone structures.
•  Locate voids and sinkholes.
• Ground penetrating radar detects buried metal, wooden, and plastic weapons either directly or from disturbed soil.
• Quick one sweep scans to clear an area or find the buried evidence.
• Instead of using destructive methods to find evidence under concrete, Accu-Scan uses ground penetrating technology which can accurately identify evidence under concrete non-invasively.
• Ground penetrating radar will locate a body when it was just buried because of the water content or after it decomposes because the body will shrink and a void will form.
• Non-destructively investigate areas with minimal interruption to property owners.
• Accu-Scan can reduce costs for law enforcement agencies by deploying our ground penetrating radar service rather than excavation costs which are far more expensive to determine if there is evidence.
• Some areas that require investigating may not even be considered due to the destructive nature of conventional techniques.
• After a survey is completed the ground penetrating data is then extracted and analyzed in software for generating detailed documentation stating the results of the investigated area.
