Abstract Objektif utama tesis ini adalah untuk mengesahkan kewujudan utiliti bawah tanah di suatu tapak pilihan di USM Kampus Kejuruteraan dengan menggunakan Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR). Objektif lain dari projek ini adalah untuk menentukan keadaan, kedudukan dan arah utiliti, menghasilkan peta utiliti terbaru bagi kawasan yang dipilih yang akan menunjukkan lokasi utiliti bawah tanah yang boleh digunakan oleh pihak yang berkepentingan untuk tujuan pemantauan penyelenggaraan dan untuk mengetahui kemampuan penggunaan GPR dan kelemahannya. GPR adalah satu teknik geofizik baru yang merangkumi banyak kegunaan. Dalam kajian ini, GPR digunakan untuk mengesan utiliti bawah tanah di suatu tapak pilihan di sepanjang Jalan Wawasan di antara Pusat Pengajian Kejuruteraan Awam dan Pusat Pengajian Kejuruteraan Bahan dan Sumber Mineral. GPR telah digunakan di tapak untuk mengesan utiliti sedia ada dan ukuran butiran dijalankan. Beberapa perisian seperti IDRISI Andes dan AutoCAD digunakan untuk menghasilkan output iaitu peta utiliti. Utiliti yang dikesan ialah kabel elektrik, paip air dan sistem pembuangan sisa. Maklumat utiliti termasuk kedalaman dan kedudukan digabung dengan pelan ukur yang memaparkan semua maklumat yang terdapat di tapak. Beberapa kekurangan GPR juga dibincangkan dan output terakhir ialah pelan utiliti terkini bagi tapak kajian. ___________________________________________________________________________________ The main propose of this project is to verify the existence of underground utilities at a selected site in USM Engineering Campus using Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR). Other objectives of this project are to determine the condition, position and direction of the utilities, to produce an updated utility map of the area under study that shows the location of underground utilities used by other interested parties for monitoring and maintenance purposes and to understand the ability of using the GPR and their limitations. GPR, a relatively new geophysical technique, has more extensive sets of application. In this study, GPR was used to detect the underground utilities at the chosen site along Jalan Wawasan between the School of Civil Engineering and the School of Materials and Mineral Resources Engineering. GPR was run at the site area to detect existing utilities and a detail site survey was conducted. Softwares namely IDRISI Andes and AutoCAD were used to produce the final product which is the utility map. Detected utilities were electricity cables, water pipes and sewerage system. These utilities which include the information on depth and its location were incorporated with the survey plan that shows all details available at the site. Some of the limitations of GPR are also discussed and the final output is an updated utility plan of the site.
