Like all Groundvue Ground Probing Radars, Groundvue 3 is user-friendly with easy to operate dedicated software. Operating depth (measured in travel time) and the distance between samples must be defined accurately. All other parameters can be reset after survey.

Frequency ranges: 4GHz (with Groundvue 5), 1.5GHz, 1GHz, 400MHz, 250MHz

Depth range: From 0m to 5m in dry conditions, a little less in waterlogging

Special features:

Simultaneous multi-channel of up to 4 channels

High speed operation equivalent to 1000 scans/
second (250 scans/second on full 4 channel
operation)

Twin arrayed antennas

Data storage: Direct to hard disk

Resolution: High to very high (80mm/250MHz; 40mm/400MHz; 20mm/1GHz; 15mm/1.5GHz; 1mm/4GHz )

Ancillaries: Laptop computer required for operation and initial data storage

A long term data storage system is essential

A basic 12V battery charger is needed to charge the radar batteries

Optional: Cable connector with vehicle cigarette lighter connection for saving
computer batteries (not essential)

Current applications: Road (pavement) profiling; bridge deck investigation; crack depth measurement in flexible pavement; structural investigations;

dowel bar alignment; trench reinstatement verification; archaeology and

environmental investigation
