Pipe and Utility Locating Services

There is a huge network of cables and pipes underneath the ground which includes gas, TV, telephone cables, etc. Locating underground utilities is difficult and a very responsible task that requires lots of precision and knowledge. It can also be very risky due to the utility cables that are set below ground. Every inaccurate work like digging and excavating may lead into leakages and even breaking the utility pipes. Therefore, the process of safe underground excavation can be undertaken only by experienced and professionally trained staff, which will eliminate the possible risk of damaging during the actual process.

Leak detection services are providing like: pipe locating, gas and cable detecting together with mapping services thanks to the latest radio detection equipment, GPRS and air vacuum excavation tools in order to expose the underground utilities without any risk.Thus, it is advisable to hire reliable utility locating company which implements up to date tools, so they can easily find your underground utility cables and pipes. Furthermore, they are capable of creating 3D maps to help your engineers and constructors to finalize the reconstruction process precisely and on time. These maps can also be used in future and applied to all construction projects in order to avoid any hassle.

Decreasing costs and safety are prime benefits. Although it is obligatory to contact the authorities before drilling or excavating the ground, utility mapping can give you a precise image over your construction process. Avoiding non-destructive excavating and mapping technologies can cost you money, time and resources.In general, our utility locating technicians are committed to use only modern technologies like acoustic location, ground penetrating radar, infra-red imaging, and electromagnetic. Besides, ground penetrating radar is the most real and frequently used tool for the location of underground utilities. In practise, some serious knowledge is needed to apply the tools on a particular location. Another technology that is commonly used is acoustic location.

This equipment is widely accepted when it comes to leak detection in plastic plumbing system and plastic pipes. When it comes to electromagnetic line location technique, this method can be successfully applied for most of the underground pipes. So, there are plenty of advanced technologies that a pipe locating company can implement in order to easily locate the underground utilities. As a rule number one, the company you will choose and hire must own modern tools so you can get efficient and accurate results. After detecting all the cables in the particular area, a yellow spray can be used to mark the specific location.

The main purpose of utility locating services is to provide essential information to locate accurately a wide range of buried pipes including both metallic and non-metallic pipes and cables. These utilities can then be mapped using a combination of traditional survey techniques, GPS and geographical information systems (GIS) software. This is to ensure that digging up of this area should be done carefully or should be avoided as it has underground cables.

We are committed to protect customer underground facilities such as electric, optical cables, gas, and to reduce customer costs by eliminating unnecessary digging and excavation processes.
