Utility-Detection | GPR Scanning
Utility Locating with Ground Penetrating Radar
Utility detection is critical to any construction project where subsurface excavation is planned. We offer you a comprehensive range of reporting options, from marks on the ground, to a basic field sketch that pinpoints buried electrical, water, gas, communication, sewer and storm drain lines.
“Before any construction or excavation project begins, one of the biggest risks is hitting underground utilities like water pipes, sewer lines, gas pipelines, fibre cables, or electrical conduits. That’s where our Utility Detection and Ground Penetrating Radar, or GPR Scanning services, come in.
We use advanced technology to map, mark, and locate subsurface utility piping and underground infrastructure before digging starts. Ground Penetrating Radar sends signals into the ground and helps us identify objects and utilities hidden beneath the surface without damaging the ground.
Ground Penetrating Radar | GPR Scanning help prevent costly damages, project delays, safety hazards, and accidental service interruptions. Whether you are building a new development, installing foundations, trenching, or upgrading infrastructure, knowing what is underground is critical.
For example, imagine a contractor excavating for a new warehouse foundation. Without utility detection, they could accidentally strike a high-pressure water pipe or electrical cable. That mistake could stop the project for days and cost thousands in repairs. With our GPR scanning, we identify and mark those utilities beforehand so the work can continue safely and efficiently.
Another example is road rehabilitation projects where underground fibre networks and stormwater pipes need to be mapped before construction begins.
Our utility detection services are ideal for construction companies, municipalities, developers, engineers, and property owners who want accurate underground information before breaking ground.
At the end of the day, our goal is simple: improve safety, reduce risk, and save you time and money by giving you a clear understanding of what lies beneath the surface.”
