Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus for locating an underground object. The apparatus comprises an excavation head, a wave emitter, a receiver, and a processor. The excavation head is adapted for soft excavation of soil. The excavation head may use mechanical means to dislodge soil, pressurized air or water, or a combination of methods. The wave emitter, located proximate the excavation head, transmits waves into the soil. The receiver receives waves reflected by underground objects. Information about the reflected waves is processed by the processor to determine the location of the underground object.
