Leica DS2000 GPR
Advanced Dual-Frequency Ground Penetrating Radar for Utility Detection
Overview
The Leica DS2000 GPR is a powerful, professional-grade ground penetrating radar (GPR) system designed for accurate detection and mapping of underground utilities and subsurface features. Developed by Leica Geosystems, the DS2000 combines dual-frequency antenna technology, intuitive software, and rugged field performance to help prevent costly utility strikes and improve project safety.
Engineered for versatility, the DS2000 detects both metallic and non-metallic utilities, including fiber optics, plastic pipes, and concrete structures—making it an essential tool for subsurface utility engineering (SUE), construction, and infrastructure projects.
Key Features
Dual-Frequency Antenna Technology
- Integrated 250 MHz and 700 MHz antennas
- Simultaneous detection of deep and shallow targets
- Optimized balance between penetration depth and resolution
Deep Subsurface Detection
- Typical detection depth: up to 4–6 meters (13–20 ft) depending on soil conditions
- Identifies utilities, voids, foundations, and geological layers
Detects All Utility Types
- Locates:
- Metallic pipes and cables
- Non-conductive utilities (plastic, fiber optic)
- Reduces risk of accidental utility strikes during excavation
Intuitive Data Acquisition & Processing
- Simple, user-friendly interface
- Real-time visualization of subsurface data
- Easy data storage and export for office processing
Positioning Integration
- Compatible with GNSS systems for georeferencing
- Integrated distance measurement encoder
- Supports mapping workflows and CAD/GIS export
Ergonomic & Field-Ready Design
- Compact, wheeled cart system
- Designed for maneuverability on challenging terrain
- Available in multiple wheel configurations (2-wheel or 4-wheel setups)
Complete Detection Ecosystem
The DS2000 integrates seamlessly with:
- Leica field tablets (CT1000 / CT2000)
- GNSS smart antennas (GG04 plus, GPS60)
- Cable locators and transmitters
- IQMaps software for advanced post-processing
This creates a complete underground detection and mapping solution.
