Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)

Measures the travel time of reflected high-frequency electromagnetic radiation. Effective for detecting abrupt interface changes and voids, for example foundation remains, graves, burial chambers and cellars.

Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) measures the travel time of reflected high-frequency electromagnetic radiation. Effective for detecting abrupt interfaces between materials and fills. Typical example targets include foundation remains, graves, chambers and voids.

Magnitude Surveys can deploy hand-held or motorised, single-channel, multi-channel, multi-frequency or stepped-frequency systems according to the required survey target, depth, resolution and coverage.

Our techniques

Learn more about the techniques that we use.

Multispectral Imaging

Primarily used in precision agriculture, environmental surveys and forestry, this specialised sensor can also detect cropmarks caused by archaeological and other subsurface features.

Magnetic Susceptibility

Measures the ease with which a material can be magnetised. Effective for detecting features with magnetic contrast from the surrounding soil, including burnt features, pits, ditches, and intra-site activity zones.

Earth Resistivity Tomography (ERT)

Multiple earth resistance profile measurements are fused to create 2D sections and 3D profiles of electrical resistivity through the ground, commonly used to determine the depth of known features.
