NWC Utilities Relocation – GPR Survey

Project Overview

Project Overview

EcoSafe successfully conducted advanced Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) surveys for
underground utilities detection and mapping across multiple districts in Jeddah, including
Al Rawdah, Al Salam, Ash Shubayliyah, and Abhur flood zones.
The project covered more than 48 individual sectors over an area exceeding 1 kilometer,
as part of the National Water Company (NWC) utilities relocation initiative.

The surveys aimed to locate, identify, and map subsurface utilities before excavation or infrastructure relocation works.
This approach enhanced on-site safety, prevented service interruptions, and provided the client with accurate geospatial data
in GIS and CAD formats for future planning and coordination.
