Radiodetection RD1000 Portable Ground Penetrating Radar System Cart & Sensor with RD1000+ Mainframe

Hybrid RD1000 Utility GPR System with Enhanced RD1000+ Display Interface

This hybrid Radiodetection configuration combines the proven RD1000 ground penetrating radar platform with the advanced RD1000+ display mainframe. The result is a purpose-built system that preserves the original RD1000’s reliable subsurface sensing architecture while integrating the improved usability, clarity, and menu structure of the RD1000+ interface. This type of display-to-body pairing is widely used in the field to extend operational life, streamline training, and improve operator feedback without altering the sensor’s underlying performance characteristics.

Key Highlights

• RD1000 radar body provides stable, real-time subsurface imaging suitable for locating both metallic and non-metallic utilities.
• RD1000+ display adds improved menu navigation, soil-type calibration tools, color palette control, and snapshot recording.
• Locate Mode allows rapid refinement of target position and estimated depth by reversing the cart along the survey path.
• Digital gain, filtering, and depth scaling allow operators to isolate small utility signatures in varied soil conditions.
• Compact Flash storage enables quick documentation of utility findings and straightforward data transfer.
• Integrated odometer provides consistent distance measurement for mapping long survey lines.

Hybrid Configuration and Compatibility

This unit is built as a hybrid: the original RD1000 cart and sensor are mated to an RD1000+ display mainframe. The integration has been function-tested to ensure stable operation of scanning, Locate Mode, image capture, and odometer-based distance tracking.

Applications

Designed for subsurface utility locating, the system supports mapping of buried pipes, ducts, and other infrastructure, including non-conductive assets that electromagnetic locators may not detect. It is suited for construction planning, municipal utility work, industrial surveys, and any task requiring a clear view of what lies below ground level.

Reliable, Field-Ready Build

The hybrid RD1000/RD1000+ configuration offers a pragmatic, field-proven upgrade path: retaining the durability and radar performance of the RD1000 chassis while benefiting from the enhanced visibility, ergonomics, and operational efficiency of the RD1000+ display. This unified system provides dependable GPR capability for teams needing accurate, visual subsurface information in demanding environments.
