Services
Utility Locating
Our utility locating service identifies underground infrastructure using radio frequency methods and Ground Penetrating Radar. We locate gas, water, power, and sewer lines to enhance project safety. Our technicians provide depth information up to 20 feet for improved construction planning.
Ground Penetrating Radar
GPR technology detects non-metallic utilities and subsurface anomalies. We use this method for plastic pipe detection and underground storage tank identification. Our team has specialized expertise in interpreting GPR data in challenging clay soil conditions.
Vacuum Excavation
Vacuum excavation safely uncovers utilities without damaging infrastructure. This method provides precise vertical measurements and visual confirmation of underground systems. We use it for accurate utility exposure in sensitive project areas.
Training Seminars
We conduct Subsurface Utility Engineering training programs for engineering firms and trade groups. Our seminars cover damage prevention techniques and include continuing education credits. Training has been provided since our company's inception.
Video Pipe Inspection
Our video inspection service evaluates underground pipe conditions for maintenance planning. This technology helps identify blockages, cracks, and structural issues in sewer and stormwater systems. The assessment supports infrastructure rehabilitation decisions.
