This final report presents the use of promising nondestructive evaluation (NDE) and geophysical techniques for the detection of buried underground utilities. The project was conducted in stages, including a literature review, controlled laboratory testing, and field experiments to assess performance under real-world conditions. As a result of this research, a new module will be added to Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) InfoTechnology web portal.
Bridge and pavement owners, consultants, contractors, and technical experts interested in underground utilities are expected to benefit from the information contained herein.
