WHAT DID GPRS DO AT THE ZOO

Thank you for watching this GPRS video! Join GPRS Project Manager Trey Merrell and Marketing Director, Vince Palko as they locate utilities at the Detroit Zoo. When people think of a utility locate, they often envision large construction, but older trees with deep seated and large root structures can also pose huge impediments to subsurface utility lines. Merrell explains why even planting or moving trees require a basic utility locate, as he and Palko enjoy a beautiful day at one of America’s premier zoos. GPRS PMs can find themselves in a different and interesting location almost every day, and there are worse ways to spend a day at the office.

GPRS serves as an underground utility locator and has an extensive nationwide network of highly trained and experienced project managers in every major U.S. market. For over a decade, GPRS has been the industry leader by providing outstanding service and cutting-edge technology, keeping projects on time, reducing safety risks, and putting our relationships with our clients before profit. GPRS provides four key services. Utility Locating: https://www.gp-radar.com/services/utility-locating-services The one-call system (811) is responsible for marking all publicly owned utilities but will not typically mark depths and will not mark any privately owned utilities. There will be at least some private utilities on almost any construction project or could even include all utilities on the entire site. The private locating process protects all site employees from potential line strike damages. Locating underground utilities is crucial when performing directional drilling, Phase I or II investigations, environmental drilling, sampling, locating underground storage tanks, soil borings, installing monitoring wells, or site remediation. With our nationwide network of Project Managers, GPRS can mobilize to your site quickly and locate critical utilities or USTs that could conflict with your drilling or excavation area. GPRS continuously exceeds industry performance when it comes to the precision and accuracy of our utility locating services. We are equipped to partner with utility providers to manage one-call contracts or to complement 811 discovers by confirming utility locations using multiple technologies or providing depths and additional information. Whether supporting locating tickets for assets such as public utilities, pipelines, and facilities or campuses on private property – GPRS is the clear choice for damage prevention. Leak Detection: https://www.gp-radar.com/services/leak-detection-services used to help municipalities, utilities, and industrial facilities maintain safe, efficient water distribution and fire protection systems. GPRS Leak Detection Services Include: Acoustic leak detection – Our advanced acoustic detecting equipment is tuned to “listen” for the specific sounds and frequencies created by water pipe leaks, allowing for non-invasive leak detection and slab leak detection. Video Pipe Inspection (VPI): https://www.gp-radar.com/services/video-pipe-inspection A lateral launch sewer inspection allows for closed-circuit television (CCTV) video inspection of pipes, including mainline and lateral pipelines. It is ideal involving situations that do not allow for a typical visual inspection. During the process, a line is inspected from the mainline to the lateral, searching for cross bores, pipe defects, and structural issues. GPRS Video Pipe Inspection services can help discover a collapsed sewer lateral, duct, or an unknown blockage in a pipe. This service is a non-destructive option that limits project delays and budget overruns by locating the exact impediment in your water or sewer line, including bellies, collapses, tree roots, lateral taps, cross bores, or other damages. Concrete Scanning: https://www.gp-radar.com/services/concrete-scanning Because concrete drilling comes at a risk, GPRS Project Managers are equipped with multiple technologies to clear areas before core drilling and anchoring. Upon completing the scanning process, you will have a clear layout of the vertical and horizontal impediments such as post tension cables, rebar, beams, and conduits. Our scanning and imaging services can be completed on any surface, including concrete slabs, walls, columns, and beams. Ground penetrating radar is most used to clear areas before saw cutting or core drilling, but our scanning equipment also can deliver much more detail.
