Leica DS4000 Utility Detection System
Advanced Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) for Subsurface Utility Mapping
Overview
The Leica DS4000 Utility Detection Radar is a high-performance dual-antenna ground penetrating radar (GPR) system designed to deliver accurate, deep, and reliable underground utility detection.
Engineered by Leica Geosystems, the DS4000 integrates advanced radar technology to detect both shallow and deep subsurface features—including difficult-to-locate assets like fiber optic cables—helping reduce risk before excavation.
With its extended depth range, real-time visualization, and streamlined workflow, the DS4000 is ideal for utility locating professionals, engineers, and construction teams.
