GEO SEARCH is Japan’s and the world’s leader in harnessing the power of ground penetrating radar (GPR) to help cities and public works agencies resolve unseen hazards below roads and highways. Since 1989, GEO SEARCH has detected over 180,000 verified cavities under roadways. After establishing operations in Torrance in 2022, hundreds of under-pavement cavities have been found for U.S. cities and agencies, allowing repairs before roads are compromised.
- Scanning for cavities prior to road repaving ensures a sound roadbed below the new layer of pavement.
- Aging water pipes and recent California rains have created dramatic sinkholes, but many cavitations remain unseen below a cap of pavement. Our proprietary equipment sets, built upon a dozen Japanese patents, can help solve the puzzle of the underground by accurately scanning to 6 feet depth, at traffic speeds up to 60 mph.
No traffic control is required for most activities. With 35 years of success and experience in detecting sinkholes and large potholes before they collapse, and precisely mapping unknown underground utilities before excavation projects commence, our core company mission “To Protect Lives and Livelihoods” is now guiding our activities in California and other global markets.
