GPR Concrete Scanning

Should your ground disturbance require a concrete scan, Empire’s staff is trained in GPR scanning. Whether you are in a parkade, gas station, commercial building, etc., we can effectively mark out both utilities within the concrete as well as rebar to minimize tooling wear.

High-Resolution Ortho Mosaic Imaging

A high-resolution Ortho mosaic photograph is a detailed, georeferenced aerial or satellite image that is created by stitching together multiple overlapping photographs of a specific area. The resulting ortho mosaic combines the individual images into a single, seamless, and accurate representation of your site's landscape. Inquire below for more information.
