## Aerialsmith Surveying: Seeing Below Ground with Leica GPR
We caught up with Aerialsmiths onsite in Auckland, on this job they’re accurately locating underground services with the Leica DS2000 ground penetrating radar. “It’s really important for Contractors who are coming onsite to start excavations, that all the underground services are accurately marked on the ground, before they begin the work.”

## Putting Safety First | Investing In Utility Detection
Putting safety first is a key focus for Multimedia Communications in Christchurch. Their team of 80+ staff deliver fibre, data and electrical network installations across New Zealand’s South Island to residential and commercial customers. Before excavating or penetrating the ground, they need to find and trace the exact location of underground utilities such as power and gas to safeguard against the risk of accidental strikes.

## Ground Penetrating Radar Explained
#### What is GPR? - Ground Penetrating Radar put simply is a piece of equipment that sends pulses of energy into the ground and then ‘listens’ for the reflected signals coming back to the unit, this provides a complete picture of what’s going on underground including location, depth, and dimensions of objects. The onboard tablet provides a real-time visual indication of underground objects, ground layers, and densities.
