Next-Generation Subsurface Mapping: Sensors & Software GPR at Contractor Essentials

Contractor Essentials is your authorised source for Sensors & Software, the world-leading Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) division of Radiodetection. For civil contractors, utility locators, and surveyors, Sensors & Software represents the pinnacle of subsurface imaging technology. While traditional locators excel at finding metallic services, GPR is the essential tool for detecting non-metallic assets—including PVC, concrete, and fibre optic ducts—that other systems simply cannot see.

From the versatile LMX series to survey-grade mapping systems, our range is engineered to provide clear, real-time visuals of what lies beneath the surface, ensuring maximum safety and damage prevention.

LMX Series: The Utility Locator’s Choice

The LMX range is designed specifically for the utility market, providing a perfect balance of deep penetration and high-resolution imaging in a rugged, site-ready package.

• LMX100™: The ideal entry point for high-performance GPR, featuring a simple interface and rapid "Locate & Mark" capabilities for on-site utility identification.

• LMX200™: The industry standard for professional locators, adding advanced features like DynaT™ for enhanced target visualisation and the ability to export geo-tagged data for professional reporting and digital mapping.

• Real-Time Visualisation: High-contrast touchscreens provide immediate feedback, allowing operators to see soil layers, metallic and non-metallic pipes, and underground storage tanks as they walk.

Survey-Grade Precision & Subsurface Mapping

For critical infrastructure projects and detailed site audits, Sensors & Software provides the technology needed to create comprehensive 3D maps of the underground environment.

• Integrated GPS & GNSS: Seamlessly pair your GPR data with external high-precision GPS units to create survey-grade maps that integrate directly into GIS and CAD workflows.

• EKKO_Project™ Software: Advanced post-processing software that allows you to manage, analyse, and visualise GPR data, turning field scans into professional subsurface engineering reports.

• Depth & Soil Calibration: Patented technology that ensures accurate depth measurements across varying soil conditions, from dry sand to moist clay.

The Ultimate Tool for BYDA Compliance

In the Before You Dig Australia (BYDA) era, "best effort" is no longer enough. Sensors & Software GPR from Contractor Essentials provides the "missing piece" in the locator’s toolkit. By combining Radiodetection’s electromagnetic locators with Sensors & Software’s GPR technology, contractors can achieve a 100% detection strategy, identifying every possible hazard before the bucket hits the ground.
