Summary:
The scope of the project includes the mapping of underground utilities and slab top of underground basements using non-destructive Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) technology at proposed area of approximately 6000 sq. m., in and around the corridor of Shri Raja Ram Temple at Orchha, Madhya Pradesh. The GPR survey has been carried out at the proposed location in the month of November 2023. The purpose of the survey is to map all the under-ground existing utilities and slab top up to the depth of around 2.5 m to generate a record and plan smooth execution of the proposed redevelopment and rehabilitation work.
Considering the client's requirements and the expected depth of the utilities, the area has
been surveyed using 400 MHz centre frequency antenna mounted with SIR 4000 GPR system to cover the depth up to 2.5 m with a fair resolution.
