Proceq GS8000 Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) Mapping, Lite

Proceq GS8000 Lite: High-Speed Subsurface Mapping with Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)

The Proceq GS8000 Lite is a state-of-the-art Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) system designed for efficient and accurate large-scale subsurface mapping. It is the ideal solution for professionals in utility mapping, geophysical investigation, infrastructure inspection, and archaeological or forensic studies who need to quickly locate and mark underground features.

Advanced Technology for Superior Performance

At the core of the GS8000 system is its powerful Stepped Frequency Continuous Wave (SFCW) technology. Unlike traditional single-frequency pulsed radar systems that force a compromise between depth and resolution, the GS8000 operates across an ultra-wide frequency bandwidth from 0.2 to 3.4 GHz. This allows it to deliver exceptional data quality, combining deep penetration with high-resolution imaging to detect both large and small objects at various depths.

• Unmatched Depth and Resolution: The system can penetrate up to 33ft (10m) and typically reaches depths of 12ft (3.7m) in average soil conditions. It is sensitive enough to detect metallic objects as small as 0.4in (10mm) at a depth of 12in (305mm).
• High-Speed Data Acquisition: Scan large areas quickly with data collection speeds up to 50mph (80km/h), with real-time display and feedback.

Seamless Integration with Apple iPad®

The GS8000 revolutionizes GPR data collection by leveraging the power of the Apple iPad. An encrypted Wi-Fi connection links the GPR sensor to your iPad, transforming it into a powerful control unit, data visualizer, and reporting tool.

• Intuitive Software: The included Lite GPR software is designed for simplicity, displaying GPR data as conventional 2D radargrams that are easy to interpret and save. Best of all, the Lite software is perpetual, with no subscription or renewal fees.
• Instant Collaboration: Take advantage of the iPad's connectivity to upload scan data, graphics, and reports to the cloud instantly. Add precisely located tags, photos, notes, and voice observations to your scans, streamlining the reporting process and enabling seamless sharing with project stakeholders. (Recommended: iPad Pro with Wi-Fi + Cellular and 1TB storage).

Designed for the Field

The GS8000 Lite is built for real-world conditions. The entire system is wireless and fully integrated into a collapsible, ergonomic pushcart that navigates varied terrain with ease.

• Versatile Antenna Positioning: The antenna can be quickly switched between ground-coupled for optimal signal transfer and air-gapped (1in/25.4mm clearance) to protect the sensor on rough surfaces.
• Long-Range Scanning: The system supports extensive scanning operations, including straight lines up to 9.3mi (15km) and large grid scans up to 260x260ft (80x80m).
• All-Day Power: Powered by eight rechargeable, flight-safe NiMH C-type batteries in hot-swappable packs, the GS8000 operates for a full day on a single charge. It also supports power from a user-supplied USB PD-compatible power bank.

Precision Geolocation

An onboard multiband GNSS antenna ensures precise positioning by receiving signals from GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou satellites. For even greater accuracy, the system supports SSR augmentation with an active internet connection, improving geolocation to within 0.5–2 inches (1–5 cm).
