What Is Underground Utility Locating?

Underground service locating involves identifying and mapping buried infrastructure such as


  • Water lines
  • Gas lines
  • Sewer pipes
  • Stormwater drains
  • Electrical lines
  • Telecommunication cables
  • Concrete rebar & post-tension cables


We use Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and Electromagnetic Detection—non-destructive methods that allow us to pinpoint the exact depth, location, and type of utility—with no damage to the surrounding area.


Whether you’re preparing for excavation, renovation, trenching, or directional drilling, our utility locating services help you plan with precision and dig with confidence.

We ensure your team avoids underground surprises—keeping your project safe, compliant, and on budget.
