GSSI Geophysical Survey Systems

GSSI is the world’s leading manufacturer of ground penetrating radar (GPR) equipment, providing cutting-edge solutions for non-destructive subsurface exploration and material analysis. Founded in 1970 as the first commercial GPR company, GSSI has spent over half a decade refining the science of electromagnetic imaging to help professionals “see” through concrete, soil, ice, and other opaque materials.

The company’s technology is indispensable across a vast array of critical sectors: in construction, their StructureScan systems are the industry standard for locating rebar, post-tension cables, and conduits within concrete slabs before cutting or drilling; in utility locating, the UtilityScan series allows crews to map buried pipes and cables to prevent dangerous and costly strikes; and in transportation, their high-speed highway systems assess bridge deck integrity and pavement thickness without disrupting traffic.

GSSI’s commitment to innovation is evidenced by their development of HyperStackING technology, which significantly increases depth penetration and data resolution in challenging soil conditions. Beyond hardware, the company provides sophisticated post-processing software like RADAN, which transforms complex radar data into intuitive 3D visualizations, enabling engineers, archaeologists, and geophysicists to make data-driven decisions with high confidence.

As a subsidiary of the OYO Corporation, GSSI leverages a global network of expertise to maintain its position at the forefront of the geophysical imaging market, continuously pushing the boundaries of what is possible in “safe-to-dig” and “safe-to-drill” technologies.
