Service Location
Electromagnetic utility locating is a non-destructive method that uses electromagnetic fields to detect and map subsurface utilities like pipes and cables. A transmitter generates electromagnetic waves that induce signals in underground conductive materials. A handheld receiver then detects these signals, allowing operators to trace and determine the depth of buried utilities. This technique offers a fast, accurate, and safe way to locate underground infrastructure, reducing the risk of damage during excavation and construction.
Electromagnetic locating is crucial for accurately identifying underground systems amid other public infrastructure. Handheld locators, combined with ground-penetrating radar, provide a versatile solution for detecting specific pipelines and utilities.

Key benefits of electromagnetic utility locating and ground penetrating radar
Non-Destructive Exploration
They enable the detection of subsurface utilities without the need for disruptive digging, preserving infrastructure integrity and reducing the risk of damage.
Safety Enhancement
By accurately locating utilities, these technologies significantly lower the risk of accidentally hitting gas lines, electrical cables, or other hazardous materials, thereby ensuring the safety of workers and the public.
Cost Savings
Avoiding utility strikes prevents costly repairs and potential legal liabilities, making these technologies a cost-effective choice for project management.
Time Efficiency
Fast and accurate utility detection speeds up project timelines by eliminating guesswork and reducing delays caused by unexpected utility encounters or damage.
Comprehensive Detection
Electromagnetic locators are highly effective for conductive materials, while GPR can detect a wide range of non-conductive materials, together providing a complete picture of the subsurface environment.
Survey
Survey integrates topographical and laser scanning technologies to offer comprehensive solutions for your site needs. These surveys aid in design, cost management, and asset management. All data is processed and delivered, providing a detailed topographical overview. Collaborating closely with our utility survey team, topographical surveyors precisely document the locations of underground infrastructure. This seamless integration with topographical data and other geomatic information ensures a more detailed and complete mapping of the site.
