GPR Survey in Lunawada, Gujarat – Underground Cable & Utility Detection

Rates and page checked: 23 October 2026

Need a GPR survey company in Lunawada?

Engaging Mezux Touch as your GPR survey company in Lunawada puts the job on the same footing as everywhere else we operate: company-owned radar, in-house crews and no sub-letting. Our 58 GPR systems and the teams who run them are based at our Faridabad yard in Haryana, and they travel to Mahisagar district when a contractor or utility owner engages us.

That set-up has two consequences you should know about. First, mobilisation is a real cost and is quoted as a separate line. Second, there is no wait for a rented machine, because none is used. Over the years since 2003 our crews have covered more than 1.5 lakh km of GPR survey in 28+ States/UTs; we do not claim any earlier job in Lunawada itself. Read more about our GPR survey service.

How does Lunawada's setting shape a survey?

Lunawada is the headquarters of Mahisagar district, formed in 2013 from parts of Panchmahal and Kheda districts. The district takes its name from the Mahi river, which flows close to the town, and the Kadana dam on the Mahi lies within the district. Other talukas include Santrampur, Kadana, Khanpur, Virpur and Balasinor. Godhra, the Panchmahal headquarters, is the nearest larger town for many contractors; see our Godhra GPR survey page.

What that means underground:

• Mahisagar is in MGVCL's central Gujarat area, so existing power lines on a route are MGVCL distribution, overhead for the most part;
• the town's older streets hold water mains, drainage and house connections laid at different times, often with patchy records;
• roads linking Lunawada with other towns carry telecom fibre and roadside cables along their shoulders;
• ground varies from river-laid soil near the Mahi to harder, stony ground in the hillier parts of the district.

What can a ground penetrating radar survey in Lunawada find?

A ground penetrating radar survey in Lunawada picks up anything buried whose electrical properties differ from the surrounding soil. On a typical route that includes:

• HT and LT power cables, alone or in groups;
• water supply mains and service pipes, both metal and plastic;
• drainage and sewer lines, including large-diameter and stoneware pipes;
• telecom and OFC ducts;
• old foundations, abandoned pipes and backfilled trenches that can affect excavation.

Radar does have limits, and we state them openly. Very small or deep lines, ground that is wet or full of clay, and stretches crowded with services can all hide a line. Electromagnetic locating covers conductive services more firmly, and trial pits settle any point where doubt remains. Our pipeline detection page explains how water and drainage lines are handled.

Where do Lunawada routes cross rivers, roads and streams?

Crossings are where strikes most often happen and where a bore is most likely, so each one is scanned and recorded on its own. Around Lunawada, the usual ones are the Mahi and the smaller streams that feed it, state highway and district road junctions, and culverts that carry drainage under the road. A culvert can hide a pipe or cable laid alongside it, so the approach on both sides is scanned as well as the road above.

When a stream bed is part of the route, the season matters. A channel that is dry in April can be under water by July, and radar cannot be pushed through a flowing stream. Scheduling those crossings for the dry months avoids a return visit.

How are GPR scanning services in Lunawada planned and run?

Planning starts with your alignment. Send it as a KML or a marked drawing, with any records of existing services you have obtained from the local body, MGVCL or telecom operators. We measure the billable length, list the crossings and propose a programme.

On site, our GPR scanning services in Lunawada follow a fixed pattern. The crew walks the route to check access, then runs radar lines along the alignment and across it, using 3D or high-resolution scanning on congested stretches. Conductive lines are traced with an EM locator. Each detected service is painted on the surface with its approximate depth before the crew moves on, so excavation can follow behind on cleared sections.

How much does a GPR survey in Lunawada cost?

Two per-metre rates cover most jobs: ₹24 for a standard GPR survey and ₹32 when an L-section depth profile is wanted. GST is charged on top. The billable length is never less than 4 km, and as Lunawada is outside Delhi NCR, the project amount has a ₹1,00,000 floor.

The slab discount applies to the whole order: a quarter off once it passes 100 km, 40% off beyond 500 km, and half off beyond 1,000 km. Four items stay outside these rates and are quoted individually: the trip from Faridabad, any work done at night, traffic control or permits, and any CAD/GIS drawing set. The complete rate card is on our price list.

What do utility detection services in Lunawada leave you with?

Our utility detection services in Lunawada leave three records behind. On the ground, painted marks in utility colours with approximate depths. On paper, a signed survey report setting out what was scanned, the depth reached on each section, the crossings and any area left out, with the reason. And where ordered, an L-section profile, which the ₹32 rate includes, plus CAD or GIS drawing sets that are priced separately.
