“Traditional” utility locating is accomplished primarily through electromagnetic locating methods where the target facilities are metallic or are placed with a metallic “tracer wire”. The equipment utilized consists of two instruments. A signal is applied to the target conductor with the transmitter and then the receiver is used to locate the electromagnetic field that travels along the pipe or cable. This is the primary method used in our utility locating services with the exception of finding unlocatable facilities... (more)
Vacuum Excavation Services (Potholing)
Hydro Vacuum excavation (Utility Potholing) provides a non-destructive method for safely and efficiently locating and exposing underground utilities. Once a small hole is cut in the surface, pressurized air is used to break up the soil while a high pressure vacuum unit… (more)

Sewer lines, conduits, or other facilities comprised of plastic, clay, or tile are not locatable via electromagnetic methods and therefore not typically identified and marked in the field prior to construction activities. This can be a costly and dangerous… (more)
A video inspection of pipelines is a cost effective means of evaluating the condition of the interior of a conduit, sewer, or drain pipe. Blockages or damaged areas can also be easily seen and subsequently located from the surface to pinpoint… (more)
