Infrasense Investigates Reports of Potential Voids and Sinkholes Behind Seawall in Coastal Virginia Using Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)

RICHMOND, Va., Apr.26, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ --Recent construction raised concern of potential voids and sinkholes behind a seawall in coastal Virginia. The concern resulted in Infrasense mobilizing to the site to conduct ground penetrating radar (GPR) testing and analysis to map out the extent of the subsurface defects. Using a 350HS antenna and synchronous GPS, the extent of seawall was surveyed in a single day with parallel traverses at a 2-ft interval.
Following the field surveys, the data is transferred to Infrasense's headquarters in Woburn, Massachusetts for quality assurance (QA) review, analysis, and reporting. Each GPR file was analyzed to identify potential locations of voiding/settlement within the survey area. Selected locations were then exported to a modeling software to delineate and quantify the specific extents of the void/settlement areas. Results are delivered in a comprehensive report with descriptions of the data collection procedures, equipment, analysis methods, and results obtained.
