Our Services
Underground Utility Locating
- Traditional Locating Methods: We employ traditional locating methods, such as electromagnetic induction and sound detection, to identify the approximate location of underground utilities. These methods are effective for locating metal pipes, cables, and conduits.
- Advanced Technologies: In addition to traditional methods, we utilize advanced technologies, including ground penetrating radar (GPR) and electromagnetic scanning, to provide more precise and detailed information about underground utilities.Â
GPR can penetrate various materials, including soil, concrete, and asphalt, to detect underground objects. Electromagnetic scanning is particularly effective for locating metal objects, such as pipes and cables.
Vacuum Excavation – Utility Potholing
- Non-destructive Excavation: We specialize in vacuum excavation, a non-destructive method of exposing underground utilities without causing damage. Our powerful vacuum excavation equipment can safely and efficiently remove soil and debris, allowing us to access underground infrastructure without disturbing surrounding utilities or structures.
- Precise and Controlled: Our vacuum excavation techniques allow for precise control, minimizing the risk of disturbing existing infrastructure. We can accurately target specific areas, reducing the likelihood of damaging underground utilities or causing unexpected disruptions.
GPR Concrete Scanning
- Non-invasive Inspection: We use ground penetrating radar (GPR) to scan concrete surfaces and detect hidden utilities, voids, or structural anomalies. GPR can penetrate concrete and provide detailed information about the subsurface, without the need for destructive testing.
- Early Detection: GPR can help identify potential problems before they escalate, saving time and money. By detecting hidden utilities or structural defects early on, we can prevent costly repairs or replacements.
CCTV Pipeline Inspection
- Internal Pipeline Assessment: We insert a small camera into pipes to inspect their condition, identify defects, and assess the need for repairs or maintenance. CCTV inspections provide a visual assessment of the pipe's interior, allowing us to identify corrosion, cracks, leaks, or other issues.
- Real-time Assessment: CCTV inspections provide real-time visual data, allowing for immediate assessment and decision-making. We can analyze the inspection footage on-site, identify potential problems, and determine the necessary course of action.
Concrete Cutting & Coring
- Precise and Controlled: We use specialized equipment to cut or core through concrete surfaces with precision and minimal damage. Our team is skilled in using various cutting and coring techniques to create openings for utility access or repairs.
- Utility Access: Concrete cutting and coring are essential for accessing underground utilities for repair, maintenance, or installation purposes. We can carefully cut or core through concrete to provide access to pipes, cables, or other underground infrastructure.
Traffic Control
- Safety and Efficiency: We implement traffic control measures to ensure the safety of workers and the public during underground utility projects. Our team is experienced in setting up traffic control plans, including detours, lane closures, and flagging operations, to minimize disruptions to traffic flow.
- Minimizing Disruptions: Effective traffic control can help minimize disruptions to traffic flow and reduce the impact on businesses and residents. By carefully planning and implementing traffic control measures, we can ensure the safety of everyone involved while minimizing inconvenience to the public.
Surveying & Mapping
- Accurate Data Collection: We conduct surveys and create detailed maps of underground utility infrastructure to support planning, design, and construction projects. Our team uses advanced surveying equipment to collect accurate data about the location and depth of underground utilities.
- Informed Decision-Making: Accurate surveying and mapping data provide essential information for informed decision-making. By having a clear understanding of the location and depth of underground utilities, project planners and engineers can avoid conflicts and minimize risks.
Subsurface 3D Mapping
- Comprehensive Visualization: We create three-dimensional models of underground utility networks to visualize their location and relationships. Subsurface 3D mapping provides a comprehensive view of the underground infrastructure, allowing for better planning, coordination, and risk assessment.
- Enhanced Understanding: Subsurface 3D mapping provides a comprehensive understanding of the underground infrastructure, aiding in planning and avoiding conflicts. By visualizing the location and depth of utilities, we can identify potential conflicts and develop effective mitigation strategies.
