Requirements
- GPR for location & mapping from the surface;…radically improve the performance of radar locators to increase their effectiveness for downward-looking surveys carried out from the ground surface.
- Borehole radar for location & avoidance underground;
…research and, eventually, prototype a new location system that can be deployed in the demanding environment of trenchless pipe-laying systems bore-heads, to carry out look-ahead surveys below the surface of the ground.
- Soil characterisation…characterise soils to advance the understanding of their electrical behaviour(different types, sub strata, water retaining characteristics etc) and provide reliable information to support the other research activities.
