Utility Location

Utility location is the process of identifying and labeling public utility mains which are underground. These mains may include lines for telephones, electricity distribution, natural gas, cable television, fiber optics, traffic lights, street lights, storm drains, water mains, and sewage pipes. In some cases we even find major oil and gas pipelines, national defense communication lines, mass transit, rail and road tunnels underground. We use electromagnetic transmitter and receiver for metal and radio-detection and GPR for non-metal lines.

 

It is very important that you call us (or someone like us) before digging or excavating so we can map out the utilities. Failure to do so may result in a fine or even a criminal charge against the person or company, particularly if such negligence causes a major utility outage or serious accident, or an evacuation due to a gas leak. Hitting a water main may also trigger a boil-water advisory and local flooding.

 

 

Some of our specific Utility Locating services include:

 

  • Clear drilling locations for utilities or other potential drilling / excavation obstructions
  • Find broken connections in utility lines for repair or replacement
  • Measure slab thickness
  • Detect subsurface junction boxes, manways, etc.
  • Create or update a utility map at whole site location for future records
  • Bore Hole clearances for environmental property assessments
  • Locate electrical or other utility conduits as well as rebar embedded in concrete prior to drilling/cutting.

 

Why choose us?

 

  • Best in the industry, detailed mapping reports are provided within 72 hours of scanning (if requested).
  • We only use the best technology available in the market for accurate utility location.
  • Both day rate and contract rates are available.
  • We are available to work regular hours as well as after hours and weekends with prior scheduling.
  • We will provide you with reference from our past work so you can make an informed decision when you pick us.
