Intelligently visializing the built world
Subsurface Damage Prevention
BEFORE YOU BUILD, CUT, CORE, OR DIG, CALL GPRS
When it comes to construction and facility management, every decision you make can cost time, money, and even lives. GPRS is in pursuit of a world with 100% subsurface damage prevention. Our 99.8% accuracy rate for ground penetrating radar services (GPR), utility locating services, utility mapping services, and concrete scanning services will locate critical targets like underground utilities, post tension cables, rebar, conduits, underground storage tanks (USTs), and more to help keep your project on time, on budget, and safe. Our NASSCO-certified CCTV video pipe inspection & leak detection services find pipe defects, blockages, and leaks with pinpoint accuracy.
Existing Conditions Documentation
ACCESS ACCURATE AS-BUILTS WITH OUR INFRASTRUCTURE MAPPING & MODELING SERVICES
When record drawings do not match the as-built conditions, general contractors and facility managers are at risk of avoidable change orders, delays, budget overruns, and even damage or injuries. Let GPRS’ in-house team create an as-built (TruBuilt) for your project – showing actual existing conditions above or below ground… or both. Our 3D Laser Scanning, reality capture services, and 3D Photogrammetry services deliver up-to-date and accurate construction as-builts, existing condition drawings, 2D CAD drawings, 3D BIM models, 3D mesh models, digital twins, point clouds, updated floorplans (FLRPLN), and more for construction design, prefabrication, clash detection, facility modifications, and asset management.
Facility & Project Management
STORE, MANAGE & SHARE PROJECT DATA WITH YOUR TEAM
Better manage your job site or facility with our GIS software platform, SiteMap®. SiteMap®(patent pending) allows you to quickly access, view, and share your infrastructure data securely with subcontractors, engineers, and your team. All of your utility, structural, water & sewer, and facility information is uploaded into the SiteMap® Map Viewer and Digital Plan Room. You can document construction progress with our Progressive Capture (ProCap) service which utilizes 3D photogrammetry or 3D laser scanning to track the evolution of the site and document key project milestones. Virtual Tours like WalkThru 3D allow you to virtually walk-through a site or facility in minutes, take basic measurements, estimate clearances and distances, and add digital notes.
SiteMap® Is a project & facility management software application that provides accurate existing condition documentation to protect your assets & people. Visualize your world as it's being built with SiteMap®. See how simple it is to access, read, and share information in this intuitive, secure user interface: Current GPRS customers all receive a complimentary SiteMap® Personal subscription with their utility locate.

///MECHANICAL ELECTRICAL & PLUMBING
As the leading provider of 3D laser scanning and BIM modeling services, we revolutionize mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) design processes. Our laser scanning captures precise measurements of existing structures, while our BIM modeling integrates this data for accurate visualization and coordination of MEP elements. This ensures optimal spatial layouts, enhances efficiency, and minimizes errors and rework, delivering superior results for our clients' projects.
///ABOVE & BELOW GRADE
Incorporate your design plans into current infrastructure and underground systems prior to commencing construction. This ensures that your architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) team, subcontractors, and stakeholders receive a complete 3D BIM model. This model seamlessly integrates 3D Laser Scanning data, Utility Locations, Video Pipe Inspection results, and GPR Data, enabling an intelligent visualization of both existing structures and proposed additions – above and below ground.
///ARCHITECTURAL & STRUCTURAL
We leverage 3D laser scanning and reality capture to revolutionize architectural and engineering practices, generating precise as-built representations and digital twins of structures. Integration into BIM models helps by reducing change orders, work stoppages, budget overruns, and design errors. Laser scanning offers architects and engineers detailed visualization of the built world, enhancing understanding and decision-making in project planning.
///POINT CLOUDS
Point clouds and 3D Laser Scanning assist the AEC industry with accurate built-world data for planning and execution. They reveal insights into infrastructure and MEP features, aiding clash detection, route optimization, and error prevention. Additionally, point clouds facilitate precise as-built documentation, enhancing project accuracy and accountability. They also enable virtual reality simulations for immersive project visualization, fostering better communication and decision-making among stakeholders.
What is ground penetrating radar?
You cannot avoid what you cannot see. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a non-invasive locating tool that allows our SIM-Certified Project Managers to scan post-tension concrete for conduit, rebar, and other encased objects, and to effectively locate utility lines, water and sewer pipes, telecom and fiberoptic cables, and subsurface voids.
GPR functions by sending radar signals into a surface like concrete or soil and capturing that signal as it bounces back to create a specific reading that allows our highly trained Project Managers to determine the length, depth, and type of subsurface feature located.
The various location features can then be marked out on the surface to show the precise location and provide clear boundaries and spaces where you can cut, drill, or excavate safely.
RISK MANAGEMENT
Complete facility visualization can almost eliminate clashes, reworks, change orders, and the cost overruns associated with them.
GPRS is committed to helping you manage and mitigate risk on your job and for your team. We provide complete facility infrastructure visualization through utility locating, concrete scanning & imaging, 3D laser scanning, video pipe inspection, leak detection, drone photogrammetry, and state-of-the-art mapping & modeling services so that you and your team can see potential hazards and design obstacles and mitigate risk to keep your project on time, on budget, and most importantly, safe.
Our goal is 100% subsurface damage prevention, and we have achieved and maintained a 99.8% accuracy rate in concrete scanning & imaging and underground utility locating on more than 400,000 jobs and counting.
When underground utilities and subsurface features are not accurately located prior to excavation or trenching, your most important asset is at risk – your people.
When you call GPRS, we use the latest in locating and scanning technology to make sure that we help keep your people, and ours, safe.

///Georeferenced Utility Linework Overlay
GPRS provides complimentary utility maps for every utility locating project – in easy-to-use file formats like .shp, .kmz. and .pdf. This linework is overlaid on background imagery and delivered immediately upon completion of a project. By supplying updated existing condition drawings, we ensure clients have actionable data for planning, designing or excavation.
///CAD – 2D Utility Site Plan
The GPRS Mapping & Modeling Team can aggregate GPRS field markings into a CAD utility site plan that shows the accurate vertical and horizontal position of underground utility locations. This site plan will help you visualize your project in the planning or design phase, during construction, or even as a permanent record of existing conditions.
///CAD – 3D UTILITY SITE PLAN
GPRS can create a 3D as-built model of the utility infrastructure on your construction site or facility/campus. GPRS collection devices such as gpr, electromagnetic induction, and CCTV video pipe inspection cameras gather site information. 3D visualization of utilities based on the 3D utility data model can be expanded to include above ground features for VDC coordination.
///GIS Infrastructure Software Application
SiteMap® is an application that can visualize georeferenced utility data, site photos and videos, BIM Models, and CAD files all in one platform. The platform is free for GPRS customers and also has available subscription tiers for different construction and facility needs. SiteMap® shows data in a customizable, intuitive, affordable platform that updates data in minutes.
