MALA Professional Explorer GPR

The MALA Professional Explorer GPR is a state-of-the-art Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) system designed for high-performance subsurface imaging and analysis. This advanced technology is widely used in various fields, including civil engineering, archaeology, environmental studies, and utility detection. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a non-destructive geophysical method that uses radar pulses to image the subsurface. It sends high-frequency radio waves into the ground, which then reflect off different materials and structures. The returned signals are processed to create images that reveal what lies beneath the surface, allowing for detailed analysis without excavation.

How Does the MALA Professional Explorer Work?

The MALA Professional Explorer operates by emitting radar signals into the ground. When these signals encounter different materials, such as soil, rock, or buried objects, they reflect back to the scanner. The system captures these reflections and processes them to generate high-resolution images of the subsurface, enabling users to identify and analyze various features.
