What is IDS GeoRadar Stream DP?
The Stream DP is an innovative multi-channel GPR array system designed for: • Detection of underground utilities
• 3D sub-surface imaging
• Road/pavement investigations
• Archaeological surveys
• Detection of voids and cavities
• Infrastructure assessment
Stream DP is a novel multi-channel GPR system based on a dense antenna array that provides high resolution underground data acquisition in real-time, thereby allowing to accurately reconstruct buried utilities in three-dimensional space with only one pass.
Revolutionary EsT Technology
The patent is among the key innovations behind the Stream DP:
EsT – Equalized Scrambled Technology
This next-gen tech gets a lot of light on both:
- depth of penetration,
- and resolution of the signal.
Traditional GPR systems usually have a tradeoff between penetration depth and image resolution.
EsT technology provides both deep underground penetration and high-resolution imaging in one system.
Stream DP optimizes the whole radiating performance of the antenna system:
- Improved disturbance rejection,
- Enhanced signal performance by increasing the bandwidth
Increased detection depth
- Simultaneous ultra-high resolution of subsurface imaging
This allows surveyors to identify:
- utilities buried deep
• It gives more clarity and accuracy on the exact location of small utilities, voids and complex underground structures.
Massive Multi-Channel Antenna Array
The Stream DP has an advanced:
30-channel dual-polarized antenna array
Configuration:
- 19VV channels
- 11HH channels
Dense array architecture allows:
- High speed data acquisition,
- Full area scanning,
- Accurate 3D utility reconstruction
- Improved underground coverage in one scan.
In comparison to conventional single-line GPR systems, Stream DP offers more comprehensive and consistent collection of subsurface data, reducing gaps and missed utilities in the survey and, consequently, the need for repeat inspections.
Superior Depth Performance
Superior Depth Performance
Maximum underground penetration depth
According to IDS GeoRadar, the Stream DP offers:
Greater depth of detection compared to competing products available.
This renders it very efficient at:
- deep utility corridors,
- large infrastructure constructions,
- tunnel investigations,
- underground tanks,
- as well as subsurface cavity detection.
Its advanced signal processing technology also increases the efficiency of detection of:
- Plastic pipelines,
- Non-metallic utilities,
- Fiber optic cables, and
- other hard-to-detect underground objects.
Fast Deployment and Single-Operator Efficiency
One of the strong sides of Stream DP is its high field productivity.
Stream DP possesses ergonomic design and includes lightweight and compact modular parts that allow quick installation.
Main advantages of operation consist of quick setup (5 minutes maximum), one-operator operation, transportation in a regular car and weight of modular parts not exceeding 20 kg.
It increases operational efficiency due to reduction of personnel required, reduction of installation time, simplified transportation and cost of surveys
Asphalt and Rugged Terrain Configurations
Stream DP has been developed to function efficiently in various conditions.
It provides:
- Dual configurations
- Asphalt configuration with swivel wheels
- Rugged terrains configuration
This makes it possible to perform surveys in:
- road cities,
- highways,
- construction sites,
- uneven terrains,
- industry sites,
- and fields.
Non-Stop Surveying Performance
Stream DP has been developed to be used for long-term surveys where energy consumption is crucial, and the equipment requires very little power usage (15-19 W) with hot swap batteries for uninterrupted performance.
This provides non-stop survey performance, because it gives you the possibility of changing the batteries without stopping the survey process.
In case of large utility mapping surveys, this option provides more efficient performance in the field.
Precision Positioning with PPS GPS Synchronization
Positioning accuracy is key in underground surveying.
Stream DP features:
PPS – Pulse Per Second synchronization
It provides accurate synchronization between:
- GPR antenna array,
- And GPS positioning systems.
The outcome of that includes:
- Precision in georeferencing the underground survey results,
- Good alignment,
- And improved mapping.
That is especially relevant for:
- GIS applications,
- CAD projects,
- BIM processes,
- And documentation.
