 Noggin 500 GPR Specifications

The Noggin 500 has been developed specifically for applications requiring high resolution subsurface imaging up to eight meters below the surface, depending on the material being investigated. The Noggin 500 combines the latest ground penetrating radar (GPR) technology into a light-weight, compact unit, making it simple to set up and use. With the Noggin 500 you can non-destructively locate metallic and non-metallic objects, subsurface material variations, voids, disturbed soil, and more.
