IRIS GROUND PENETRATING RADAR SYSTEMS

 

The IRIS GPR is offered in four versions, which are described below. A complete GPR system typically consists of a control unit, antenna(s), cables, software and other optional accessories, which may include GPS, vehicle mounting structure and/or transport cart. A general description of Penetradar's GPR systems are provided below.

 


 

INTEGRATED RADAR INSPECTION SYSTEM

The Penetradar Integrated Radar Inspection System (IRIS) is an automated radar based system for high-speed, non-destructive surveys, solving the problem of radar data interpretation and ease of use. The IRIS consists of ground penetrating radar, data acquisition hardware and IRIS Software, all integrated into a highly automated, turn-key inspection system that requires little knowledge of radar signal interpretation to operate effectively.

Designed for use at speeds of 60 MPH (100KM/H) the IRIS “sees” into the ground, automatically acquiring and storing digitized radar data on hard disk for subsequent processing. IRIS Software simplifies the task of data analysis and consists of automated and computer assisted programs which require limited user input and provide 2D & 3D subsurface profiles and plan-view subsurface mappings of the area inspected.

The IRIS utilizes all Penetradar antennas and can be installed with up to four antennas in an array for maximum transverse coverage. A complete IRIS system consists of the following components:

  • IRIS DRC (1, 2, 3, 4 channels)
  • Antenna(s) & Cables
  • IRIS Software for Windows
 
 

Features

  • Complete, integrated and automatic, radar/data acquisition/data processing system for high-speed inspection applications.
  • Installed with up to four contacting or non-contacting antennas.
  • Advanced Windows based Data Acquisition and Processing software providing quantitative output in graphic and numerical format.
  • Rugged, design for vehicular installation.
  • Full touchscreen interface for GPR control
  • Uses include the high-speed evaluation and testing of pavements, bridge decks and runways.
  • GPS Compatible
 

 

VERSION L (IRIS-L)

The Penetradar Integrated Radar Inspection System Version L (IRIS-L) is a lower cost, dual channel GPR system with features and performance similar to the standard IRIS GPR.

Designed for applications that require the simultaneous use of up to two antennas, the IRIS-L is the system of choice. This system combines portability, low power and multiple antenna operation while maintaining compatibility with all Penetradar software.

The IRIS-L utilizes all Penetradar antennas and can be installed with up to two antennas in any configuration. A complete IRIS system consists of the following components:

  • IRIS DRC (1 or 2 channels)
  • Antenna(s) & Cables
  • IRIS Software for Windows
 
 

Features

  • Complete, integrated and automatic, radar/data acquisition/data processing system for high-speed inspection applications.
  • Installed with up to two contacting or non-contacting antennas.
  • Digital User Interface with Standard 19" External LCD or Optional Built-in LCD Touchscreen.
  • Advanced Windows based Data Acquisition and Processing software providing quantitative output in graphic and numerical format.
  • Rugged, design for vehicular installation or portable field use.
  • Full touchscreen interface for GPR control (with optional 7 inch touchscreen LCD) or operation with standard keyboard/mouse
  • Uses include the high-speed evaluation and testing of pavements, bridge decks, runways, site surveys and general applications.
  • GPS Compatible
  • Battery Operated
 

 

VERSION P (IRIS-P)

The Portable Integrated Radar Inspection System - IRIS Version P is a self contained, low cost single antenna ground penetrating radar system designed for applications requiring field portability.
