  • Locating- I can electronically locate utilities by either hooking up directly to a conductive line and sending a signal through it or sending a signal through the surface for detection
  • Our approach will be tailored to the quality level you require
  • GPR- Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) sends a signal through material such as asphalt, concrete or soil to locate a utility, conduit, PT or cable
  • This is an excellent option for non-conductive lines
  • Potholing- Excavating a small hole for visual verification
  • When mission critical information is needed that electronic detection cannot provide such as line size, material, or exact depth
  • Potholing is the most precise method of verification
  • CCTV- CCTV pipe & sewer inspection and video assessment of waste line conditions with a locatable camera
  • I performed inspections looking for damage such as cracks, roots, blockages, and other unwanted problems
  • Mapping- After locating the utilities, survey grade CAD drawings of the underground utility locations can be provided by our survey team
  • We can tie into your existing controls and work with any available standards
  • Reporting- Accurate, easy to read, detailed documentation is vital to your project
  • We offer empty conduit, vault locations, 3D modeling and many other precise reports to aid your design and project plan
