CONTENT WARNING: This story contains graphic details about residential “schools” that many will find distressing or triggering. Please look after your spirit and read with care.

The unmarked and shallow graves of 40 children have been identified near the former St. Augustine’s residential “school,” according to the shíshálh Nation which announced the findings today.

Part of an ongoing archeology project with the University of Saskatchewan, researchers launched a formal investigation of the institution early last year — an effort which has included scanning with ground-penetrating radar.

Chief yalxwemult’ Lenora Joe said that the GPR has sadly revealed what appear to be “shallow graves, only large enough for the young bodies to lay in a fetal position.” 

The findings were made on or near the grounds of the “school” after survivors told researchers where to look, according to the team, and there are still more areas to be scanned. [...]

(via Archaeologists may have found ruins of fabled entrance to Zapotec underworld | Ars Technica)

In 1674, a priest named Francisco de Burgoa published his account of visiting the ruins of the Zapotec city of Mitla in what is now Oaxaca in southern Mexico. He described a vast underground temple with four interconnected chambers, the last of which featured a stone door leading into a deep cavern. The Zapotec believed this to be the entrance to the underworld known as Lyobaa ("place of rest"). Burgoa claimed that Spanish missionaries who explored the ruins sealed all entrances to the temple, and local lore has long held that the entrance lies under the main altar of a Catholic church built over the ruins.

An international team of archaeologists recently announced that they found evidence for this fabled underground labyrinth under the ruins—right where the legends said it should be—after conducting scans of the site using ground penetrating radar (GPR), electrical resistivity tomography (ERT), and seismic noise tomography (SNT).  The team also found evidence of an earlier construction stage of a palace located in another part of the site.

Mitla is one of the most significant archaeological sites in Oaxaca Valley. It was an important religious center, serving as a sacred burial site—hence its name, which derives from Mictlan ("place of the dead" or "underworld"). The unique structures at Mitla feature impressively intricate mosaics and geometric designs on all the tombs, panels, friezes, and walls, made with small polished stone pieces fitted together without using mortar.

Avoid Costly Delays: How Scanning Utility Locating Saves You Time and Money

In today's fast-paced construction and infrastructure development landscape, time is money. Any unforeseen delays can significantly inflate costs and disrupt project timelines. One of the most effective ways to mitigate these risks is by employing advanced scanning utility locating techniques. Safe Scanners, a leader in this field, offers state-of-the-art GPR Services, GPR Scanning, Ground Penetrating Radar, and Concrete Scanning Services. These services ensure that projects proceed smoothly, without the costly interruptions caused by unforeseen utility line strikes or structural issues.

The Importance of Utility Locating Services

Before any excavation, drilling, or construction work begins, it's crucial to know what lies beneath the surface. Utility locating services help identify the presence of underground utilities such as water pipes, gas lines, electrical cables, and telecommunications infrastructure. Unintended strikes on these utilities can cause severe delays, legal liabilities, safety hazards, and increased costs.

Safe Scanners' Utility Locating Services use advanced technology to provide accurate and reliable subsurface information. This proactive approach not only prevents damage but also enhances project planning and efficiency.

How Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) Works

Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a non-destructive method that uses radar pulses to image the subsurface. GPR Scanning involves transmitting high-frequency radio waves into the ground. When these waves encounter a buried object or a boundary between different materials, they reflect back to the surface, where they are detected by a receiver. The time it takes for the radar waves to return is used to create a detailed image of the subsurface.

GPR Services provided by Safe Scanners are invaluable in detecting utilities, voids, rebar, and other structural components. This technology is highly effective in a variety of materials, including soil, rock, concrete, and asphalt, making it versatile for different construction needs.

Benefits of GPR Scanning and Concrete Scanning Services

Accuracy and Precision: GPR Scanning delivers highly accurate results, allowing construction teams to pinpoint the exact location and depth of utilities and other subsurface features. This precision reduces the risk of damaging existing infrastructure and ensures compliance with safety regulations.

Cost Savings: By identifying and avoiding utilities and other subsurface hazards, Safe Scanners' GPR Services prevent costly repairs, project delays, and potential legal issues. The upfront investment in scanning services can save significant amounts of money in the long run.

Safety Enhancement: Excavating without proper knowledge of underground utilities can lead to dangerous situations, including gas leaks, electrical hazards, and water main breaks. Using Ground Penetrating Radar and Concrete Scanning Services minimizes these risks, protecting workers and the public.

Non-Destructive Testing: GPR is a non-invasive method that does not disturb the surveyed area. This means that the site remains intact, avoiding the mess and potential damage associated with exploratory digging.

Versatility: GPR Scanning can be used in various environments and for multiple applications, from large-scale construction projects to smaller residential renovations. Safe Scanners' expertise ensures that each project benefits from tailored solutions.

Case Studies: Real-World Applications of GPR

Case Study 1: Urban Infrastructure Development

In a major city development project, Safe Scanners was enlisted to perform GPR Scanning before the installation of new utilities. The dense urban environment posed a challenge due to the existing network of underground utilities. Using advanced Ground Penetrating Radar, Safe Scanners successfully mapped out the complex subsurface layout, allowing the construction team to proceed without incident. This avoided potential delays and saved the city significant costs in rerouting and repairs.

Case Study 2: Historic Building Renovation

A historic building undergoing renovation required Concrete Scanning Services to locate rebar and voids within its foundation. Safe Scanners deployed its GPR technology to scan the concrete structure, providing detailed imagery of the rebar patterns and any hidden voids. This information was crucial in planning the renovation work, ensuring structural integrity and preserving the building's historical value. The project was completed on time and within budget, thanks to the accurate data provided by Safe Scanners.

Future Trends in Utility Locating and GPR Technology

As technology advances, the capabilities of GPR and utility locating services continue to expand. Innovations such as 3D GPR imaging and real-time data processing are enhancing the accuracy and speed of subsurface investigations. Safe Scanners is at the forefront of adopting these new technologies, ensuring that clients benefit from the latest advancements in the field.

Moreover, the integration of GPR data with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) allows for more comprehensive and accessible mapping of subsurface utilities. This integration provides a holistic view of the project site, further reducing risks and improving planning efficiency.

In the realm of construction and infrastructure development, avoiding costly delays is paramount. Safe Scanners' GPR Services, including GPR Scanning, Ground Penetrating Radar, and Concrete Scanning Services, offer a reliable and effective solution to this challenge. By accurately locating subsurface utilities and other features, these services save time, reduce costs, and enhance safety on job sites.
