GPR-3 is SPH Engineering's advanced trainer-led course on drone ground-penetrating radar: signal propagation theory, propagation speed, and processing and interpretation. It suits experienced GPR operators, and HobiTech coordinates enrolment in India.
Training outline
- Advanced GPR signal propagation theory
- Complex subsurface data interpretation
- Troubleshooting difficult survey conditions
- Practical exercise (or remote support)
What does the GPR-3 trainer-led course cover?
GPR Advanced Module (GPR-3) gives an advanced-level explanation of the theory behind GPR signal propagation. It then goes deep into GPR data processing and interpretation, including detailed methods for determining the signal propagation speed. The aim is that, after the course, you can plan surveys, collect field data, and process and interpret the data on your own.
According to SPH Engineering's course page, the trainer-led version covers:
- What causes GPR reflections, and the soil properties that affect how the signal behaves
- How to calculate signal propagation speed
- Advanced processing and interpretation in Prism 2 software
- The differences between UAV-mounted and ground-based GPR data collection
- The dead zone of low-frequency radars, and how it affects equipment choice and flight altitude
- Survey planning strategies
- Data interpretation exercises on demonstration datasets, and terrestrial survey applications
- A closing practical exercise, or remote technical support
How is the trainer-led course delivered?
| Item | Detail (from SPH Engineering) |
|---|---|
| Format | Online modules completed on your own, then a live video-call session (via Zoom) with an SPH Engineering trainer |
| Alternative venue | Training can be held at SPH Engineering's office |
| Duration | Up to 8 hours in total |
| Group size | The price covers a group of up to 4 students |
| Audience | Users of UgCS Integrated Systems / GPR who want to go deeper |
SPH Engineering also sells GPR-3 as a self-study course if you would rather work alone at your own pace, without the live session.
Who should take GPR-3, and what comes before it?
SPH Engineering describes the course as intended for people with a foundational understanding of GPR, ideally with substantial experience in GPR operations. The course page lists Prism and GeoHammer as the software involved. If you are new to drone GPR, start with GPR on a UAV (GPR-1) and GPR Basics (GPR-2). After GPR-3, you can prove your skills with the GPR Practical Exam & Certification.
The course is built around the GPR systems in SPH Engineering's Integrated Systems line-up. See the drone GPR systems, the SkyHub GPR software package and GeoHammer Pro for processing. SPH Engineering explains the method on its GPR technology page, and the course itself is listed on the SPH Engineering Academy.
Why enrol through HobiTech?
HobiTech is an authorised SPH Engineering partner based in Bengaluru. The course is delivered by SPH Engineering, and HobiTech coordinates enrolment for customers in India, with a GST invoice on every order. See all our GPR training options or the full training and certification programme.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who delivers the GPR-3 trainer-led course?
SPH Engineering trainers deliver it. HobiTech coordinates enrolment for customers in India.
How long is the trainer-led GPR-3 course?
SPH Engineering states up to 8 hours in total, combining online modules with a live session with a trainer.
