Technology Empowering a Millennium-Old Ceramic Capital: Wuhan Shilong's Ground-Penetrating Radar Supports Protection of Jingdezhen, a National Historical and Cultural City

Recently, in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi—a land steeped in a millennium of kiln fires and historical memory—a deep integration of technology and cultural heritage protection is quietly unfolding. Wuhan Shilong Technology Co., Ltd.'s technical team deployed their self-developed SL-GPR wireless ground-penetrating radar to the site, providing precise technical support for the "Jingdezhen Historical and Cultural City Protection and Enhancement Project," managed by Shanghai Construction Group No. 2 Building Group. This initiative focuses on radar detection prior to grouting reinforcement of Ming Dynasty protected heritage structures, using non-destructive testing to safeguard the restoration of these ancient treasures.

All-digital design that balances portability with high performance

As a dedicated player in the geophysical detection and equipment sector, Wuhan Shilong Technology has long been committed to the R&D and innovation of ground-penetrating radar (GPR). The newly deployed SL-GPR wireless GPR features software-controlled, fully digital design, offering portability, intelligence, and high performance. It operates by transmitting high-frequency electromagnetic waves into the ground via a transmitting antenna and receiving reflected signals. By analyzing waveform characteristics, amplitude intensity, and propagation time, it precisely determines the spatial location, structural morphology, and burial depth of subsurface media, providing a scientific basis for engineering decisions under complex geological conditions.

Non-destructive testing safeguards the integrity of cultural relics

In the restoration of Ming Dynasty cultural heritage buildings in Jingdezhen, the SL-GPR wireless ground-penetrating radar has proven indispensable. These centuries-old structures sit atop highly complex subsurface geology, where traditional inspection methods often fail to fully assess foundation conditions. Leveraging its ease of use, high data quality, and rapid acquisition speed, the SL-GPR enables comprehensive underground "check-ups" without damaging the artifacts themselves. It clearly detects hidden voids, micro-cracks, and soil loosening—potential hazards that allow engineering teams to plan ahead and implement targeted grouting reinforcement strategies, effectively preventing secondary damage during construction.

Technology Empowering the Millennial Heritage of the Porcelain Capital

Shanghai Construction Group No. 2 Contracting Co., Ltd. is leading the Jingdezhou Historic City Conservation and Enhancement Project, a mission to preserve the millennium-old heritage of China's Porcelain Capital. As key cultural landmarks, Ming Dynasty historic buildings are under intense scrutiny during their restoration. The integration of advanced radar detection technology from Wuhan Shilong Technology has significantly enhanced the scientific rigor and precision of construction operations. This initiative establishes a robust data foundation for subsequent foundation reinforcement, ensuring these precious historic structures not only regain vitality but also securely withstand the weight of time.

Cross-sector collaboration illuminates the path to cultural heritage preservation

Wuhan Shilong Technology's technical team pledged full commitment to this radar detection operation, leveraging their expertise and advanced equipment to strengthen safety measures for the foundation grouting reinforcement project of Ming Dynasty cultural heritage structures in Jingdezhen. Looking ahead, the company aims to expand such cross-industry collaborations, applying cutting-edge geophysical exploration solutions to a broader range of cultural heritage preservation efforts, ensuring that technology continues to illuminate the long history of human civilization.
