| Summary | Although it is easy to identify discontinuities on radargrams in the ground penetrating radar (GPR) method, there may sometimes be difficulties in completely determining underground engineering structures. The fact that the engineering structures are smaller in scale than expected makes it difficult to find the structure, while the presence of secondary engineering structures may be insufficient to completely determine the underground structures with the GPR method. The study focused on the covering effect of plastic pipes and engineering structures on each other in case of electrical transmission lines adjacent to these pipes and how they can be determined. It is aimed to view both engineering structures at the same time in the test site. GPR method was used to image the plastic pipeline. It has been deemed necessary to use a secondary method for the power transmission lines located right next to them and which cannot be displayed on radargrams due to the covering effect of the plastic pipe. For this reason, in addition to the GPR method, the RTK-Pro cable detection detector produced by the Vivax brand was used and the electrical transmission line, which could not be viewed due to the covering effect of the plastic pipe, could also be imaged. In this way, it is recommended to use more than one method at the same time, rather than single methods, in determining underground engineering structures. In case one of the methods was insufficient, both engineering structures could be found thanks to the other complementary method. |
