Tree Root Radar Surveys & Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)
Tree Root Mapping & Ground Penetrating Radar Surveys in Ireland
Tree Logic Consultants provides professional Tree Root Radar Surveys and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) investigations throughout Ireland. Using advanced non-destructive technology, we can locate and map significant tree roots beneath the ground without excavation, helping clients make informed decisions during planning, design, and construction.
Tree Root Radar surveys provide valuable information on the location, depth, and distribution of structural roots, supporting tree retention while reducing the risk of unnecessary root damage during development.
What is Tree Root Radar?
Tree Root Radar is a specialist Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) system designed specifically for arboricultural investigations. The technology transmits radar signals into the ground and records reflections from underground objects, allowing significant woody roots to be identified and mapped.
As the investigation is completely non-destructive, it allows important trees to be assessed without excavation or damage to the root system.
When is a Tree Root Radar Survey Required?
Tree Root Radar surveys are particularly beneficial where development is proposed close to retained trees or where the extent of the root system needs to be understood.
Typical applications include:
BS5837 planning applications
Proposed building foundations
Road and footpath construction
Utility installations
Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SuDS)
Root Protection Area (RPA) investigations
Veteran and historic tree management
Root damage investigations
Tree retention on development sites
The information obtained can assist architects, engineers, landscape architects, developers, and local authorities in designing around valuable trees while minimising impacts on their root systems.
