Q5 Series GPR System

Overview

Simply put, the Q5 GPR system is a workhorse when it comes to locating buried utilities. Its easy-to-use interface can also be expanded and configured for other applications as needed. Not only is this system incredibly versatile, but it is the most powerful ground penetrating radar for locating underground utilities up to 15′ (5m) deep at high resolution.

The Q5 is more than just a utility locator, it has a wide range of applications. It is also a data collection platform that allows you to visually document your findings to share with others on your utility installation and maintenance teams. You can use the easy-to-learn interface to create a deliverable dataset that ensures all workers are on the same page when completing the job. This results in a safer, more efficient work environment where everyone is working with more confidence.
