Frequently Asked Questions

Utility locating involves identifying and marking underground utilities using technologies like Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and electromagnetic pipe locators. This service helps prevent damage during construction and ensures safety by providing the exact location of underground utilities.
These services are crucial for mitigating risks associated with underground utilities during construction projects. Accurate locating helps avoid damaging utilities, which can cause project delays, additional costs, and safety hazards.
Potholing, or vacuum excavation, is a non-destructive method used to expose underground utilities for verification of their condition and precise location. This technique ensures that construction plans are accurate and reduces the risk of utility damage.
GPR transmits a signal into the ground, which bounces back when it hits an underground utility. The reflected signal is then analyzed to determine the location and depth of both metallic and non-metallic utilities.
Yes, non-metallic utilities like PVC and concrete pipes can be located using techniques such as GPR or inserting a sonde, a small radio transmitter, into the utility which can then be tracked above ground.
Beyond locating utilities, vacuum excavation can be used for safe digging around sensitive areas like tree roots, sign, and pole installations, and even clearing out mud or water from various structures.
