• Abstract:
  Modern nondestructive evaluation (NDE) technologies offer an expanding suite of geophysical techniques to detect and locate buried utilities. This project focused on identifying promising technologies that merit expanded application and mainstream deployment by State transportation departments. The project team applied a staged approach to the effort, which included a thorough review of the open scientific literature, controlled testing of candidate NDE technologies, and field experiments to assess performance under real-world conditions.
