Our locating services involve the detection, marking and reporting of buried utility services on any land no matter the use. We use both electro magnetic detection and GPR to mark the location of the lines on the property surface using pin flags, temporary paint or lath/wood stakes. We then draft a site report with a map identifying the location of the lines on the property. This report helps workers find our field markings before they dig.
We can detect the electromagnetic signal that may be emitted by power cables, or the energy from low-frequency communications signals which has ‘coupled’ onto metal services. Prevent yourself from accidentally damaging a service line.
Complete scans of concrete to include rebar verification and analysis. A non-invasive method to inspect the quality of concrete structures. Another necessary step is ensuring safe work on the job ahead.
There are several benefits to using GPR for Utility Locates. It’s a non-destructive investigation method with quick setup and real-time interpretation. It finds the accurate location of both known and unknown objects as well as the depth. It also detects different materials and can locate both conductive and non-conductive lines such as PVC pipes, fiber optic cables etc. The chances of accidentally hitting a buried pipe or cable are high. Prevent accidental damage by accurately locating the positions of all buried pipes and cables prior to excavation. Save yourself time and effort by doing things right.
We will conduct an evaluation of your job site(s) or property to ascertain the full scope of locating required and will discuss everything to do with Utility Locates needed prior to starting work.
