WHY UTILITY LOCATING MATTERS
Underground utilities are often undocumented, inaccurately mapped, or completely unknown. Striking gas lines, electrical conduits, water lines, or storage tanks can result in serious safety risks, service interruptions, environmental damage, and costly project delays.
Utility locating with GPR allows project teams to:
-
Identify underground utilities before excavation
-
Reduce the risk of utility strikes
-
Improve job site safety
-
Support accurate planning and layout
-
Avoid unnecessary repairs, downtime, and liability
WHEN UTILITY LOCATING IS REQUIRED
Utility locating is commonly performed before:
-
Excavation or trenching
-
Drilling or boring
-
Site development or grading
-
Utility installation or replacement
-
Renovation or infrastructure upgrades
Utility locating is most effective when performed early in the planning process. Identifying underground utilities and subsurface features before work begins helps project teams avoid unexpected damage, delays, and safety risks.
