We use advanced methods to locate conductive and nonconductive utilities across a wide range of site conditions.
Utility locating, advanced detection,
and mapping for projects of any size.
Locating conductive utilities using electromagnetic methods and proven field techniques.
All Materials Locator (AML) technology helps trace plastic, fiber, and other difficult-to-locate utilities when conventional methods have limits.
Uses subsurface imaging to help visualize underground utilities and structures that cannot be confirmed with standard locating.
Supports tracing certain pressurized utilities and complex underground conditions when standard methods are not sufficient.
Plastic lines, fiber optics, and other nonconductive utilities require specialized methods. We use advanced tools — including All Materials Locator (AML), GPR, and acoustic locating — to help trace difficult-to-locate utilities and keep projects moving.
Advanced locating tools such as AML, GPR, and acoustic methods are paired with digital mapping to document findings and support planning, coordination, and future excavation.
A systematic approach combining multiple detection methods to build a clearer understanding of subsurface conditions.
Better subsurface insight helps reduce unexpected repairs, delays, and conflicts during excavation.
Ground penetrating radar (GPR) provides additional insight into subsurface conditions by
analyzing reflected signals beneath the surface. It can help identify utilities, structural elements, and changes in soil conditions without excavation. Performance varies based on site conditions, depth, and material.
Application
GPR scans provide additional information about subsurface features within the survey area and can help identify utilities, structures, and anomalies. Findings are interpreted alongside other locating methods to support planning and excavation decisions.
Site Assessment
GPR scans provide additional information about subsurface features within the survey area and can help identify utilities, structures, and anomalies. Findings are interpreted alongside other locating methods to support planning and excavation decisions.
Structural Analysis
GPR scans provide additional information about subsurface features within the survey area and can help identify utilities, structures, and anomalies. Findings are interpreted alongside other locating methods to support planning and excavation decisions.
Digital mapping transforms field data into clear, usable records. We document located utilities and site findings to support planning, coordination, and future work.
Located utilities are marked on site and documented with available depth and location information to support excavation planning.
Documentation of located utilities and site findings for project files, coordination, and future reference.
Maps and records available to your team, contractors, and project stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle.
Conductive utilities such as copper, steel, and aluminum respond to electromagnetic locating methods. We use established techniques and reliable equipment to trace and mark these utilities in a wide range of site conditions.
Applies signals to conductive utilities to help trace their path and estimate depth. Commonly used on power lines, telecom cables, and metal piping.
Follows existing signals in active utilities to help confirm alignment and identify branches or connections. Effective for utilities that are energized or in service.
Provides depth estimates for located utilities to support safer excavation planning. Actual depth can vary based on site conditions and soil composition.
