I had an earthquake engineering course in my geological engineering undergraduate program, and an excellent teacher, but man, the math gave me fits! Well, apparently my time has finally come to make the effort to understand it again. A retired Canadian geophysicist/engineer is writing a series of articles on seismic analysis.

This allows accurate mapping of issue which have been under the ground just before any digging is done. If digging is accomplished very first, it is actually very likely to hit and break pipes and that may be particularly costly to replace, not to mention risky as what ever is in those pipes escapes into the surrounding spot.
Furthermore it is not restricted to detecting the presence of metals alone, it provides you an overall kaleidoscopic view of what is laying underground, which is what most of the engineers are concerned with, as the nature of projects varies they need their own GPR reports.
