NOGGIN

Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)

Adaptable, High-performance GPR

If you need a high-performance, configurable GPR that is adaptable for multiple applications, the NOGGIN is the right choice for you.

The NOGGIN has sensors ranging from 1000 MHz to 100 MHz. Simply choose the sensor that provides the depth penetration and resolution best suited for your application. Noggins can be used for high resolution surveys of concrete buildings and structures, bridge decks, pavement, runways and underground mines. Moderate depth surveys for subsurface utility mapping, underground storage tank detection, archaeology, forensics and unexploded ordnance. And for even greater depth to map geologic structure, measure depth to bedrock, glacier profiling and geotechnical surveys.

The NOGGIN family provides 5 configurations to adapt your GPR data collection to any terrain.

  • SmartCart® - durable, 4-wheeled, folding cart for fast, efficient data acquisition over smooth to moderately rough terrain. 
  • SmartTow™ - designed for hand-tow surveys over smooth to rough terrain, such as grassy, brush covered or rocky surfaces. 
  • SmartSled™ - designed for vehicle-towed surveying over smooth to rough open terrain, such as agricultural fields, grass, gravel roads or rocky surfaces. 
  • SmartChariot™ - designed for vehicle-towed surveys covering large, smooth, open areas, such as roads, bridges, large parking lots and garages, and open fields like golf courses and parks. 
  • SmartHandle™ - designed for pushing or pulling the Noggin over a smooth terrain. Light & compact for vertical or overhead surveys, and surveys in confined spaces. 

Available in four center frequencies and five standard configurations, NOGGIN® systems are field-proven for use in many environments across many applications.

NOGGIN systems provide flexible data collection options and powerful in-field visualization of your GPR results. Data can be exported to the EKKO_Project GPR Software for further analysis and reporting. 

Build the system that suits your needs

Noggin sensors and configurations allow you to mix and match to build the GPR system that works for your specific application, and easily reconfigure to a different deployment method for another application.

Powerful yet simple data collection

 User-friendly interface allows you to quickly scan areas with flexible collection settings, visualize your results with in-field depth slicing and interpret in real-time with color field interpretations. 

Flexible Trigger Options

Enables the use of GPR in applications requiring different data collection methods - use an odometer to trigger at a set distance, use free run in speed or time when an odometer is not suitable, like on ice or water, or manually press a button to collect data. 

High Data Quality

DynaQ® technology increases data quality by stacking (averaging) ensuring you always collect the highest data quality for your survey speed.

Ultra Technology

For deeper surveys, the innovative Noggin Ultra 100 provides superior signal-to-noise ratio, resulting in the detection of weaker GPR signals at greater depths. 

Field-Proven solutions

Noggin GPRs are trusted by leading researchers to provide high quality data in many subsurface applications, even in the most demanding conditions worldwide - from the Arctic to the Sahara desert.
