Tree Radar Roots InspectionMost trees fall over because of compromised roots due to factors such as decay, severance during construction, and constricted growing conditions. At present, the only root inspection procedure is invasive – excavation – by either digging or use of a hyper-sonic velocity "air gun" that blows away the upper soil.TRU offers a non-invasive method for
Tree RadarThe patented TRU™ (Tree Radar Unit) System is a field instrument that uses ground-penetrating radar (GPR) technology in a new and novel way to non-invasively determine both the internal structure of a tree and its structural root mass. These are two separate measurements of the health and structural integrity of a tree. The advanced-technology and patented TRU
