Abstract
The detection of buried Fibre Optic (FO) cables in an urban environment is a problem when using GPR. The fibres themselves are not detectable as they are essentially sand. What can be detected is the cable strengthening, the jacket, the trenching, the ducts they are in and if included, any tracer wires or tape.
