GPR Mapping is non-intrusive, sub-surface imaging that looks underground to develop a picture profile of what lays below the surface. We use GPR to determine the location of unmarked graves, headstones and burial vaults. We can also locate lost or available grave space, markers that have been moved and verify casket positioning. For cemeteries with missing or destroyed burial records, a GPR survey can produce a composite site map of an area that would indicate grave locations, as well as their positions and depth.
Using Ground Penetrating Radar, TOPOGRAPHIX® can investigate and map sub-surface areas for vault and foundation locations, mass burial sites, underground utility cables, buried pipes and pipe routes. We can also measure the depth to water tables and depth to bedrock. Pricing - GPR Survey is calculated on a per-day basis and can cover approximately two hundred (200) graves based on the terrain, obstructions and soil content. We offer GPR surveys as a standalone service or combined with TOPOGRAPHIX® on-site mapping services.
The three images you see below show the location of graves with no markers. The left photograph shows the scanned area. The center and right photographics shows GPR images that detail the depth and position of three discovered burial vaults.
