Ground Penetrating Radar • Private Utility Locating • Subsurface Imaging • Specialized Detection
WorkSmart, Inc. provides professional subsurface imaging and locating services for construction, industrial, environmental, commercial, and private clients. Using ground penetrating radar, utility locating, metal detection, and other specialized technologies, we help our customers identify what lies beneath the surface before they dig, drill, cut, or excavate.
When you call, you’ll speak directly with someone in the field who understands the equipment and the work.
WorkSmart understands that communication and responsiveness are essential to keeping a project moving, which is why you speak with someone in the field, and why WorkSmart makes responding to you in a timely manner a high priority.
Since 1998, we've worked alongside contractors and other field professionals, gaining decades of firsthand experience with the demands of subsurface locating. That experience led us to develop specialized ways of mounting and deploying our GPR systems on vehicles and other platforms, designed to make scanning more efficient and adaptable to field conditions. Proven through years of field work, these systems have earned their place as reliable tools for the job.
Our custom vehicle-mounted setup keeps the operator and touchscreen protected inside the cab, allowing us to work in conditions that can limit conventional push-cart systems, including light rain, snow, and taller grass. No Wi-Fi or cell service is needed because we use satellite, making remote locations accessible. Select trucks are also equipped with plows for snow removal when needed.
Additionally, our GPR system operates three antennas simultaneously, collecting detailed near-surface information and deeper subsurface data in a single pass. This allows us to cover larger areas efficiently while gathering a more complete picture of what lies beneath.
