Know more about what’s underground before you dig.
Trusted on projects for universities, municipalities, contractors, and private industry across Oregon.
Clear Information, Careful Locating and Documentation That Supports Safer Planning and Excavation.
Accurate locating helps prevent costly strikes, service interruptions, repairs, and unexpected project delays.
Clear utility markings help crews work more safely around buried infrastructure during excavation and construction.
Reliable utility information supports better project planning, design decisions, permitting, and site coordination.
Advanced locating methods reveal hidden utilities that records, surface features, and standard methods may miss.
We’ve been locating utilities across Springfield for more than 20 years. Our team supports contractors, property owners, and public agencies with accurate, professional locating and mapping services.
Identify privately owned underground utilities before excavation, construction, landscaping, or maintenance work begins.
Locate public utility infrastructure to support safer excavation, repairs, upgrades, and municipal construction projects.
Create clear digital records of underground utilities for planning, documentation, coordination, and future site work.
Detect plastic, concrete, and other nonconductive utilities using specialized equipment and advanced locating methods.
Safely expose underground utilities to verify their exact position, depth, condition, and surrounding site conditions.
Trace buried pipes and cables accurately to reduce the risk of damage and improve excavation planning.
Oregon 811 marks public utility lines, but many privately owned utilities may remain unmarked. Water lines, irrigation systems, electrical feeds, septic components, and other buried infrastructure on private property can still create serious risks during excavation.
Hole In One Locating identifies the utilities that standard public markings may miss. With accurate field markings and advanced locating methods, we help you dig with greater confidence and reduce the risk of damage, delays, and unexpected repair costs.
Hear from those we have served
We can often schedule a utility locate promptly, depending on your location, project scope, site size, and the locating methods required.
Providing the project address, proposed excavation area, utility records, and preferred work date helps us evaluate the request and arrange service more efficiently. Larger sites, complex utility systems, and projects requiring specialized equipment may require additional scheduling time.
Yes, PVC and plastic water lines can be located using specialized nonconductive utility locating methods.
Because plastic pipe does not carry a standard electromagnetic signal, the best method depends on available access points, pipe pressure, tracer wire, soil conditions, depth, and surrounding infrastructure.
Acoustic locating, ground penetrating radar, tracer wire detection, or other advanced methods may be used to identify the probable route of the line.
Yes, we provide digital utility mapping to create a clear and usable record of located underground infrastructure.
Utility maps can document line routes, surface features, field markings, and other relevant site information for project planning, design coordination, maintenance, and future excavation.
The level of detail and deliverable format can be adapted to the scope and documentation requirements of the project.
Utility locating equipment may provide an estimated depth, but physical exposure is the most reliable way to confirm the exact depth of a utility.
Signal quality, soil conditions, utility material, congestion, and equipment limitations can affect electronic depth readings. When exact horizontal and vertical measurements are required, vacuum hydro excavation can safely expose the utility for direct verification before excavation, drilling, or design work begins.
