Proton therapy, the next generation of radiation oncology, reduces the dose of radiation to the healthy surrounding tissue and nearby organs which leads to fewer side effects, positive long-term outcomes and improved quality of life in patients. The first proton therapy center opened in … Read More
Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE)
Infrastructure Management Using GPR
According to the Infrastructure Report Card prepared by ASCE, “America’s roads are often crowded, frequently in poor condition, chronically underfunded, and are becoming more dangerous. One out of every five miles of highway pavement is in poor condition and our roads have a significant and increasing backlog of rehabilitation needs”. With over four million miles … Read More
Video of Ground Penetrating Radar
BHATE was hired by a civil engineer in Alabama that was trying to design new overhead canopies around existing fuel facilities. They had completed a topographic survey of the existing conditions at the site, but this did not yield any information about subsurface utilities. They had no idea what type, how many or how deep … Read More
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) to Locate Underground Utilities
BHATE offers ground penetrating radar solutions (GPR) for the designation of subsurface utilities. With GPR surveys, we can quickly identify and mark the location and depth of service utilities – gas, communications, sewer lines – and other metallic and non-metallic targets including underground storage tanks and PVC pipes. When would GPR be useful? Utility detection … Read More
