Mapping of possible Leakage locations at Bharuch, Gujarat
Scope of Work:
GPR investigation to map possible water leakage locations.
Location:
inside the campus of Aarti Industries Limited, Bharuch, Gujarat
Client:
Aarti Industries Limited
Equipment:
GSSI SIR 4000 with 400 MHz center frequency antenna.
Challenges:
Weak signals due to moisture content in medium
Summary:
The GPR survey has been carried out in the campus of Aarti Industries Limited at Bharuch, Gujarat. The scope of work includes the mapping of possible water leakage locations, underground utilities including GAIL pipeline or any other discrepancies underneath, up to the depth of around 3.0 m using non-destructive Ground Penetrating Radar Technology. The survey is done to evaluate the damages or deterioration that might have developed underneath due to possible water leakage and to map all the possible utilities. Considering the client's requirements and the expected depth, the area has been surveyed using 400 MHz center frequency antenna mounted with SIR 4000 to cover the depth up to 3.0 m with superior target resolution. The data has been collected in longitudinal and transverse direction, to scan the whole area in Grid pattern. The area was scanned up to the maximum accessibility of the machine movement in both the direction. The proposed area for the survey includes scanning on roads and open area.
