With TreeRadar GPR Peter Barton Associates assess the extents of badger setts (underground tunnels); -we locate and plot voids (potential badger tunnels). With our sophisticated software we measure void diameters to confirm badger applicability. The results can be plotted to plans

The TreeRadar GPR data is processed by bespoke software (TBA).
TBA software provides a high degree of accuracy in characterising the spatial view profile. Ideal for the mapping underground voids etc. Theses radargrams are examined for subsurface disturbances to identify soil voids attributable to badger activity - underground badger runs or tunnels etc.
Our experts examine radargrams to identify any hyperboles associated with sizable voids (Badger Tunnels).

With bespoke software we measure profile variations including size of voids to enable comparison between badger tunnels, rabbit burrows and other habitats.
