A sustainably good road surface often depends on how well understood is the ground underneath the road’s route. Brian Jones* offers some best practice and advice for getting the most from ground-penetrating radar investigations
Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is one of the most accurate non-destructive testing (NDT) methods available. To get the most from GPR surveying, it is absolutely essential to understand how GPR tools work and follow best practices when conducting surveys.

British Railways has big plans. Trains on the first 220 km from London Euston Station to Birmingham could be travelling at a speed of 360 km/h (225 mph) in as little as 10 years. The earthworks required for this are to be completed by as early as 2025. The project is considered one of the largest and most ambitious infrastructure projects in recent British history. It must meet the highest possible construction quality standards and evolve over the course of the project - setting new standards today and for tomorrow. The deployment of innovative BOMAG technologies and machines is therefore logical and consistent.
As the 7th-ranked world power, South East Asia is one of the world’s most dynamic and high-growth zones. More than US$60 billion of investment in infrastructure projects is planned per year between now and 2022. The region’s importance to the global construction equipment sector can’t be overestimated.
Italian motorway construction and management firm Tangenziali Esterne Milano (TEM) has revealed that work at the building sites for the Rivoltana-Truccazzano stretch of the east Milan ring road will start on 11 June 2012. The total cost of the project is expected to reach US$ 2.51bn (€2bn).
