TerraProbe
There is more to underground construction than just the technical execution. The risks are significant, both in terms of safety and finances. Consider projects such as tunnel construction, installing grout anchors, or deepening waterways. It is precisely during this type of work at greater depths that it is essential to know exactly where cables and pipes are located. Often, this involves infrastructure buried deep underground, such as directed drilling (HDD) or sinkers.
TerraProbe:
In-depth insight into the subsurface, without limits
Underground construction involves more than just technical execution. The risks are significant, both in terms of safety and finances. Examples include the construction of tunnels, grout anchors, or the deepening of waterways. When carrying out such work at great depths, it is crucial to know exactly where cables and pipes are located. These are often cables and pipes that have been laid deep underground, such as those installed via directed drilling (HDD) or sinkers. TerraCarta offers various solutions for mapping such pipelines, such as gyroscopy and probing; however, despite these methods, challenges remain that cannot be resolved using these techniques alone. With the TerraProbe—a patented solution—these challenges can be tackled effortlessly. Where traditional techniques fell short at depths exceeding 10 to 15 meters, or in situations involving gravel layers at great depths, the TerraProbe eliminates all such limitations.

What is the
TerraProbe?
The TerraProbe is a measuring instrument developed by TerraCarta that is pressed vertically into the ground (probing). As soon as a signal is detected indicating the location of a cable or pipeline, the probing stops to prevent damage. A new sounding is then performed. During this process, which involves multiple soundings, precise data is collected on the location of underground infrastructure. Thanks to our patented technology, it is now possible to accurately locate and map pipelines at great depths. In doing so, we are pushing the boundaries of traditional detection methods.
Revolutionary application
on the job
A striking example of the TerraProbe’s capabilities can be found at the Maasvlakte, as part of the widening of the Yangtze Canal. For this project, we accurately mapped a directional borehole drilled by Stedin to a depth of 35.5 meters. Thanks to this measurement, grout-injection anchors could be safely installed without any risk of damage or delays. This collaboration between TerraCarta, Van Oord-Hakkers-De Klerk, the Port of Rotterdam, and Stedin is a textbook example of how in-depth insight into the subsurface leads to safe and efficient project execution.

Why the TerraProbe
indispensable
Incorrect or incomplete information about the location of cables and pipelines leads to damage caused by excavation, additional costs, and delays. The TerraProbe prevents this by taking precision to a whole new level. By combining this technology with ground-penetrating radar and radio detection, we offer a comprehensive solution for underground surveys.
The benefits at a glance:
- Maximum certainty about the location of pipes and bores
- Increased safety during excavation and construction activities
- Time savings through reduced risks and delays
- Full integration with other detection techniques
