UTILITY LOCATING IN NEW ENGLAND
Ground Penetrating Radar Utility Locating Services Across the Region
GPR Boston provides professional utility locating services throughout New England, supporting commercial, industrial, and infrastructure projects where accurate subsurface information is essential. Using Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), we help identify underground utilities and subsurface features before excavation or ground disturbance begins.
​
Our regional experience allows us to support projects across multiple jurisdictions while maintaining a consistent, solutions-based approach focused on safety, planning, and risk reduction.
​
We offer full-service utility locating and GPR scanning across all six New England states — including Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine.

WHY UTILITY LOCATING MATTERS IN NEW ENGLAND
New England infrastructure often includes multiple generations of utilities installed over time, sometimes with limited or incomplete documentation. Excavation without accurate utility information can result in serious safety risks, environmental issues, and costly project delays.
Utility locating with GPR allows project teams to:
-
Identify underground utilities before excavation
-
Reduce the risk of accidental utility strikes
-
Improve job site safety
-
Support accurate planning and coordination
-
Avoid unnecessary repairs and downtime
Across New England commercial sites and infrastructure projects, early utility locating is essential to responsible project execution.
