Stream C – a game changer in the detection industry

测量公司需要紧凑的解决方案，以提高生产力和工作流程效率。Stream C Ground Penetrating Radar(GPR) detects underground utilities in real time and quickly produces subsurface GIS-based digital maps. Due to the system’sflexibility and size, Stream C can beused in urban environments and for a wide range of applications，从管道映射，土木工程，考古学到隧道和桥梁检测。

这system set up is simple – just bring it on site, unload, plug in the GPS and you’re ready to work.

这vertically and horizontally polarised antennas deliver high-quality results同时扫描一个方向。这用户友好的GPR允许无体验的GPR用户实时监视。Geostudi Astier from Italy, Site Vision Surveys from the United Kingdom and ScanPlus Locating from Canada agreed to share their productivity and efficiency gains with the Stream C.

Using Stream C in multiple environments

Geostudi Astier一直在合作IDS GeoRadarsince many years and contributed to the development of the流系统。自2017年以来，该公司使用溪流C进行了广泛的应用，从浅层管道映射到土木工程。最近，Geostudi Astier专家测试了意大利南部桥梁和隧道分析的用法。

Geostudi Astier总裁Gianfranco Morelli描述了如何Stream C boosts their workflow并在哪个应用程序中测试了雷达。“We use Stream C because it provides a compact way to deploy both vertically and horizontally polarised antennas and the spacing in the array is very good. The density of the horizontally polarised antenna gives the possibility to obtain 3D images of two different polarisations very quick,”莫雷利说。

Geostudi经常在光纤网络的预安装调查中使用雷达。人们对scanning bridges and tunnels因此，该公司在桥梁及其侧面以及隧道内使用流C进行了一项实验调查。在这两种情况下，结果都是有希望的。

Monitoring, checking the data in real time, and post-processing saves plenty of timefor Geostudi Astier. This efficiency allowed the team to scan超过10000平方米的复杂的城市il在一个工作日，在布鲁塞尔的大广场上。这说明了如何将流C GPR技术用于直线途径，还可以用于在城市环境中创建前100至150厘米土壤的地图useful in many fields, including:

• 维护城市环境
• 考古学
• Analysis of pavements.

From 25 to five days

Site Vision Surveys, a multidiscipline professional surveying company based in the heart of the United Kingdom, provides services for all aspects of the built, transport and civil engineering environments. Recognised as a market leader, Site Vision Survey continues to develop and innovate the field of utility detection and mapping, therefore, they acquired Stream C. The company uses the GPR system in multiple environments –在城市条件下拖曳或从车辆的后部逃跑。

现场视觉调查董事总经理西蒙·贝利（Simon Bailey）解释了为什么流C是行业中的游戏规则改变者以及其性能如何改善。

这time and cost efficiency现场视觉调查的情况大大改善。“借助流C一个项目，现在只能在5天内进行传统的GPR才能完成25天，”解释说贝利。

加速并简化工作流程

扫描定位has chosen Stream C to improve their efficiency in mapping utilities, bedrocks and cemeteries across British Columbia, Canada. The company provides GPR and locate services for Vancouver Island with units dispatched to Greater Victoria and Nanaimo areas.

Scanplus定位的实用定位专家Kelby Wittich解释了流cimproved data collection and processing efficiencyfor mapping utilities, bedrocks and cemeteries. For ScanPlus Locating experts,Stream C is an ideal tool to interpret radar data in the field。GPR初次用户以及专家可以阅读和理解为客户提供的数据并解释数据。

“Stream C has improved our workflow by taking large projects that have taken us three to four weeks to collect the data down to a couple of days as well. Processing time, as well, has decreased from a couple of weeks or months down to days,”said Wittich.
