Our History
Construction Solutions was founded January 2000. We have completed or worked on projects in the US, England, India, Panama, Canada, and Norway. Some of these projects have had international recognition such as the repair of the slurry wall at the World Trade Center “Ground Zero.” We worked on replacing the worn Tow Track on the Panama Canal while the canal was operating, and cutting the bow off the Russian Kursk submarine allowing it to be raised to the surface.
The purchase of Diamant Boart, Inc. by Dimes resulted in the sale of Construction Solutions to Rick Norland, effective Sept I 2002. Beginning in September, Construction Solutions was relocated to facilities near Paola, Kansas and established as a limited liability corporation in the state of Kansas. From this transformation, Construction Solutions has continued to supply services to the precision demolition industry and to expand its customer base. Beginning in January of 2003, Construction Solutions began supplying Ground Penetrating Radar services to the precision demolition industry. Currently Construction Solutions has performed over 6,000 GPR surveys resulting in rapid sales growth for this service.
In 2018 Construction Solutions became Echo GPR Services, with the purpose of better identifying ourselves throughout the construction and environmental industries. Led by Mark DeSchepper and Rick Norland, Echo GPR Services continues to lead the way with modern GPR solutions.
“It has been nothing but a great experience working with the folks at Echo GPR Services. We use them for clearing environmental borings on many sites throughout the Midwest.
They are always very courteous and friendly both with our staff but also in answering question to our clients in the field. I would highly recommend them for your private locating needs.”
“Echo GPR Services have done a great job for the Nabholz Construction Corporation in providing public and private utility location services as well as ground penetrating radar of the existing areas to locate any buried lines, piping, rebar, or voids below the proposed work area or as just an “all clear” confirmation prior to commencing with any cutting, demolition, or excavation activities. They are willing to obtain any certifications, badging, or background checks required to serve our diverse group of customers.
We greatly appreciate their willingness to go where ever we go and serve who ever we serve to get the job done safely and in a timely manner. They are a valuable resource for protecting both our liability as well as the customer’s property, services, and employees from any potential unexposed hazards. We recommend Echo GPR to be used on any project, large or small. Their services save us time and money every time!”
