Introducing Dr Jan Francke

Locating Unlimited, has been so fortunate to be able to present to Australian GPR Technicians the incredibly talented Dr Jan Francke at recent workshops in Sydney and Melbourne.

Dr Francke stunned attendees with his humility, talent, presentation style and breadth of knowledge. One would expect a certain level of expertise from someone who has spent 32 years in the industry and the experience of completing major GPR projects in 108 countries, but Jan managed to far exceed all these expectations.

Couple this with, studying Geophysics at the University of British Columbia – Vancouver, Engineering Geology, at the University of Canterbury, Christchurch New Zealand, principles and managing expectations on realistic GPR performance.

Geophysics at King’s College London, resulting in a PhD. With 32 published papers on GPR to mining and geotechnical problems, and conducted numerous workshops, teaching GPR.

Jan has graciously agreed to take time out of his busy schedule, to again come downunder and present his unique GPR training, to improve GPR field activities, collection of data, processing that data and ways to present finished reports to clients.

If you missed out last time, do not make the same mistake again. I believe that these courses will fill fast.

The 2 over Coffee Myth Busting sessions are “Expressions of Interest” currently, I feel that these present an ideal opportunity for Business Managers, Project Managers and ALL office bound project staff to once and for all gain a complete understanding of the capabilities that this equipment has. Many have the very false impression that once you push the magical little box across the ground, “Magic” happens, and the operator can suddenly see everything that is under there. This is far from the t This is a rare opportunity to discuss, one-on-one with an industry expert, in an open forum the capabilities and limitations that the equipment poses.
