LIVE DIG RADAR™
(LDR) TECHNOLOGY
The one and only patented ground-penetrating radar imaging technology platform for real-time, automatic, on-site underground utility detection, empowering the operator, the contractor, and the entire earthworks ecosystem for safe, reliable excavations.
LDR EXCAVATE™
The efficient way to avoid utility strikes during excavation
LDR Excavate is the first-ever ground penetrating radar (GPR) integrated into the excavator’s digging bucket, detecting underground utilities in real-time and alerting the operator during excavation.
This breakthrough solution enhances the safety and efficacy of digging, construction, and earthworks operations, reducing the enormous costs and environmental impact associated with everyday accidental damage.
LDR VISUALIZE™
Intuitive and easy-to-use display providing real-time alerts
LDR Visualize is an easy-to-use display unit located inside the excavator cabin. Using advanced algorithms to classify radar echoes, it provides the operator with automated real-time alerts, without the need for offsite expert analysis. Any novice operator with limited or no training can understand the information provided by LDR Excavate and independently avoid damaging underground utilities.
EMPOWERING THE OPERATOR, THE CONTRACTOR, AND THE ENTIRE EARTHWORKS ECOSYSTEM
Embedded in the digging bucket, LDR technology overcomes existing GPR limitations, detecting underground utilities during excavation at any depth including shallow ones. On the surface and during trenching, LDR Excavate creates a new scan with each pass, consistently identifying targets only in proximity to the bucket
It provides the operator with automatic and accurate alerts regarding buried utilities encountered during digging operations, in real time, before the utility is hit. A bucket with an integrated LDR technology can easily be installed on any excavator, current or new, using industry standard interfaces and attachment systems.
LDR can detect all types of pipes and utilities, including gas, power, communications, fiber-optics, water, sewage, oil and chemicals – in different soils and types of substrates.
