From geodetic to cadastral to topographic surveys, surveyors deliver insights that are essential to engineering design, post-construction certification, real estate considerations and more. Our utility locating and mapping services supplement a surveyor’s work by delivering accurate data on what lies beneath a project area.
From geodetic to cadastral to topographic surveys, surveyors deliver insights that are essential to engineering design, post-construction certification, real estate considerations and more. Clients rely on this data to be accurate and complete, however, mapping the contours of the ground and existing features on the surface, tells only half the story. Insights on the underground landscape are also required to deliver a complete picture.
Our utility locating and mapping services supplement a surveyor’s work by delivering data on what lies beneath a project area. We’ll combine a variety of tools and techniques such as Electromagnetic (EM) Induction and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) to locate and mark all utilities including fibre communications, high voltage electricity, high pressure gas mains, water and sewer pipes, switches, pressure plates and other complex infrastructure. Once located, we’ll integrate our data with a surveyor’s end product to deliver a complete picture of a project area.
Our utility locating services can help you avoid risk and liability regarding any activity that requires you to break ground – such as placing survey pins in the ground to mark the boundaries of a property. By securing a utility locate first, you can be sure to avoid buried utilities and eliminate potentially costly or dangerous results.
Our position in the marketplace allows us to attract and keep talent. Staff members undergo a comprehensive training program coupled with extensive professional development and job shadowing. Certifications include Damage Prevention Technician (DPT) and Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) in addition to significant and ongoing Health & Safety Training. This results in safe, accurate locates delivered on time and on budget.
Locating experience and abilities are diverse: technicians are trained on multiple techniques and technologies to carry out the work including Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), Electromagnetic (EM) Induction, Vacuum Excavation, and CCTV Sewer Inspection. This means that no utility locating challenge is too complex, and we can even find buried assets that are traditionally considered “unlocatable.” Learn more about our techniques and technologies.
