GPR Survey Articles & Field Guides

Rates and page checked: 23 October 2026

What do these GPR survey articles cover?

These GPR survey articles are written for the people who order, supervise and depend on underground surveys: cable and pipeline contractors, DISCOM and municipal engineers, telecom planners and consultants preparing tenders. Each one answers practical questions, such as what a survey should include, what the ground will allow, how quantities are measured and which records to keep afterwards.

Taken together they form a set of underground utility mapping guides rooted in site work rather than textbook theory. Mezux Touch has completed more than 1.5 lakh km of radar survey across 28+ States/UTs with 58 company-owned GPR systems, and the guides draw on that experience. Wherever a guide mentions cost, it follows the current GPR survey price list.

How does the region filter work?

Ground, agencies and site rules change from one region to the next, so every article carries a region tag. Use the filter above the list to narrow it down:

• Gujarat – DISCOM cabling, GIDC estates, coastal and dry-zone soils, L-sections and tender quantities. A good first read is the Gujarat underground cabling guide, alongside our state page for GPR survey in Gujarat.
• Delhi NCR – road-cutting checks, sector roads, housing societies, metro diversions and monsoon effects across Delhi, Gurugram, Noida, Ghaziabad and Faridabad. See also GPR survey in Delhi NCR.
• State capitals – local guides for capital cities, each describing its terrain and typical buried services. The locations section lists the capitals we serve.
• India – method guides that apply anywhere, in effect a GPR survey guide for India as a whole: radar versus EM locators, depth accuracy, deliverables, radargrams and soil limits.

Clearing the filter brings every guide back into view. Some topics, such as L-sections or HDD crossings, appear under more than one region because the ground and agencies differ. New titles are added region by region as they are written and checked.

Where are the older Insights posts?

Before this section existed, Mezux published a set of posts on fibre and trenchless work. They remain under Insights and cover how GPR works, utility strike prevention, HDD drilling, trenchless versus open-trench methods, right-of-way approvals and owned versus rented fleets. Those posts give the background; the articles here go further into survey planning for particular regions and project types.

Which guide should you read first?

• Preparing a tender or BOQ? Begin with the guide on GPR survey quantity for DISCOM tenders.
• Unsure what the ground allows? Look for the soil guides tagged to your region.
• Need a depth profile? The L-section guides explain when an L-section survey is worth ordering.
• Planning a bore under a road or canal? Start with the HDD crossing articles.

Each guide is written to be read on site as well as at a desk: short sections, question-style headings and lists you can copy into a method statement. All guides keep the facts plain. Rates never cover mobilisation, night shifts, traffic permissions or CAD/GIS drawing sets, and depth is always tied to soil and moisture. If a guide leaves your question open, ask the survey desk directly.
