Purdue engineers have developed a patent-pending method to decrease hazardous strikes to underground utility pipes during construction projects. This could lower related financial losses, service disruptions, injuries and fatalities. Professor Hubo Cai and Purdue doctoral candidate Yuxi Zhang are improving upon traditional ground-penetrating radar data to better estimate the location, orientation and radius of underground utility pipes.
The quality and impact of work led by Purdue researchers continue to be recognized by external funding bodies. Here are the researchers who received Sponsored Program awards approaching $1 million or greater in February.
