Mara Nord (2010-2012)
Projects purpose is to demonstrate the potential of GPR method use in road condition measurement and rehabilitation planning to the Nordic market. This will be achieved through cooperation between Finland, Sweden and Norway.
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a non-destructive ground survey method that can be used in assessing roads, railways, bridges, airports, tunnels, environmental objects etc. Its main advantage is the continuous profile it provides over the road structure and sub grade soil.
The GPR is becoming an increasingly important tool especially for planning structural evaluation of roads. Another important advantage of GPR in road surveys is that it does not essentially disrupt the flow of traffic during the survey.
The method is used for many purposes as well as for the measurement of Ice and Snow that can be exploited in the Nordic areas. Mara Nord project concentrates on the use of the GPR in road surveying and rehabilitation planning.
