Doing the Impossible with GPR feat Sean McConnel

Ep. 29 |
July 8, 2023

On our twenty - ninth episode of the utility strategy podcast, Sean McConnel of Bigman Geophysical (https://bigmangeo.com/) gives us an expert's view on GPR as a nondestructive method of subsurface investigation:

👉 what it can (and can't) do

👉 when and where it works best

👉 and how it can provide incredible value at very low cost by detecting utilities in the early project phases.

Sean McConnel is a Senior Project Manager at Bigman Geophysical, where he oversees geophysical projects from around the world that call for all kinds of non-destructive testing: on-site analysis and consultation, back-end data processing, equipment, training and support. Sean is a geophysical archaeologist, currently defending his PhD at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. He has been deployed to construction sites, roadworks, cemeteries, and other locations at which subsurface features require expert location and analysis. As he likes to say, “An archaeologist might seem to be an odd choice for a construction project, but when you need a specialist at finding manmade objects underground, that’s us.”Host: David Horesh (Director of Marketing)
