The SPH Engineering GPR Advanced Module (GPR-3) is the third and highest-level course in the SPH Engineering GPR training series. Designed for operators who have completed GPR-1 and GPR-2 and are ready to advance beyond foundational acquisition and processing skills, GPR-3 covers advanced survey design, complex data processing techniques, multi-frequency and multi-pass data analysis, and specialized application workflows for demanding GPR survey projects.
Training is delivered at the SPH Engineering office or via video conferencing. Price is per group of up to 4 students.
Prerequisites
- Completed GPR on a UAV – Level 1 (GPR-1) training
- Completed GPR Basics – Data Processing & Interpretation (GPR-2) training
- Practical field experience executing and processing airborne GPR surveys
Training Outline
-
Advanced Survey Design — Optimizing survey parameters for complex targets: line spacing, altitude, speed, and frequency selection for deep targets, thin layers, and high-resolution mapping requirements
-
Multi-Frequency Data Analysis — Combining data from multiple GPR frequencies (e.g., Zond Aero LF and 1000 NG) for complementary depth and resolution coverage of the same survey area
-
Advanced Prism 2 Processing — Advanced processing workflows including F-K migration, deconvolution, attribute analysis, and 3D data visualization for complex subsurface interpretation
-
Complex Target Interpretation — Interpreting GPR data for challenging targets: thin pavement layers, closely spaced utilities, deep voids, and geological layering in variable ground conditions
-
Quality Control & Data Validation — Systematic QC workflows for airborne GPR datasets: identifying acquisition artifacts, noise sources, and processing errors before deliverable generation
-
Specialized Application Workflows — Application-specific processing and interpretation workflows for utility detection, void mapping, pavement assessment, snow/ice profiling, and archaeological investigation
-
Advanced Deliverable Production — Producing professional-grade deliverables: annotated depth-slice maps, 3D subsurface models, and GIS-integrated reports for complex client requirements
-
Practical Case Studies — Analysis and interpretation of complex real-world airborne GPR datasets from challenging survey environments
