Overview

The Radiodetection RD1500 is an advanced Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) system engineered to locate and map underground infrastructure with exceptional confidence. Using high-frequency radio waves, the RD1500 produces real-time subsurface images that help contractors, utility companies, municipalities, engineers, and private locating firms identify buried utilities before excavation begins.

Unlike conventional electromagnetic locators that depend on conductive materials or tracer wires, the RD1500 detects both conductive and non-conductive underground objects, making it ideal for locating PVC water lines, HDPE gas mains, asbestos cement pipe, concrete structures, underground storage tanks, septic systems, drainage tiles, vaults, and other difficult-to-locate infrastructure.

Building upon the proven capabilities of the RD1100 platform, the RD1500 introduces Grid Scan, Map View, SplitView, GPS compatibility, advanced data export capabilities, and improved mapping workflows for professional underground utility investigations.

Why Choose Ground Penetrating Radar?

Traditional electromagnetic utility locators are excellent for locating conductive utilities such as energized electrical lines, tracer-wire equipped plastic pipe, and metallic pipelines.

However, many underground assets cannot be accurately located using electromagnetic technology alone.

The RD1500 complements traditional utility locating by providing a complete underground picture.

Ground Penetrating Radar can detect:

• PVC Water Pipe
• HDPE Pipe
• Asbestos Cement Pipe
• Non-Metallic Gas Lines
• Underground Storage Tanks
• Concrete Structures
• Septic Systems
• Drainage Tile
• Utility Vaults
• Buried Foundations
• Buried Manholes
• Unknown Underground Objects

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is the Radiodetection RD1500 used for?

The RD1500 is used to locate and map underground utilities, storage tanks, drainage systems, foundations, and other buried infrastructure using Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR).

Q2: Can the RD1500 locate PVC pipe?

Yes. Unlike traditional electromagnetic locators that require tracer wire, the RD1500 can detect many non-metallic utilities such as PVC and HDPE pipe.

Q3: How deep can the RD1500 detect underground objects?

Detection depth depends on soil conditions, target size, and material. Under favorable conditions, the RD1500 can detect targets up to approximately 27 feet (8 meters) below the surface.

Q4: What is Grid Scan?

Grid Scan collects data in multiple directions to produce a more comprehensive underground map, helping improve target identification and utility mapping.

Q5: Does the RD1500 support GPS?

Yes. The RD1500 supports an optional external GPS receiver for improved georeferencing, GIS integration, and mapping accuracy.

Q6: Can I export collected data?

Yes. The RD1500 supports data export for post-processing, archiving, documentation, and integration with mapping software.

Q7: Is on-site training available?

Yes. Titan Tools Direct offers FREE on-site demonstrations in select states and can discuss training options based on your project needs.
