UTILITY LOCATING
To ensure the overall timely success of your project, utility detection is critical to any construction project where subsurface excavation is planned. If this critical first step is ignored, the risk for injury increases, budget overruns can multiply, and your schedule can be delayed.
VIDEO PIPE INSPECTION
Video Pipe Inspection (CCTV) is a service used to inspect underground water sewer and lateral pipelines. VPI is a great tool for investigating cross-bores, structural faults and damages, and lateral line inspection.
CONCRETE SCANNING
Whether it's a renovation project or new build construction, the likelihood of needing to cut or core concrete is high. There is an inherent risk of striking rebar, conduits, and post tension cables during the cutting or coring process. If a striking occurs, repair costs begin to add up, delays creep into your schedule and it creates a safety hazard for your employees. Read about our Green Box Guarantee
MAPPING AND MODELING
The goal of the GPRS Deliverables Department is to deliver clear and understandable findings with each of our outputs from field markings to field sketches, KMZ files, or CAD drawings that provide 2D site plans or even 3D CAD models. In addition, upon the completion of every project, our customers receive a job summary that includes job scope information, site photos, description of site conditions, equipment used, and notes from the project.
Leak Detection
A water leak detection company that you can rely on, the GPRS team is here to help. We specialize in industrial, municipal and residential leak detection services. We’re experts in underground water leak detection, and our water loss specialists can quickly determine the root cause of the issue and recommend the appropriate fix.

SAFETY: ALWAYS ON OUR RADAR
GPRS services such as utility locating, concrete scanning and video pipe inspection (CCTV), reduce risk for you, your team and your assets. When our Project Managers locate subsurface structural elements and pipes, the result for our clients is Damage Prevention and a reduction of risk. At GPRS, safety is always on our radar
BUDGET OVERRUNS
When change orders take place due to unforeseen circumstances on job site, a budget can quickly become ruined. When utilities are not located prior to excavation or drilling, damages can occur – unleashing a series of extra expenses. Scanning with GPRS can assist in keeping your project within the budget.
DAMAGED REPUTATION
When utilities and pipes or concrete reinforcement is damaged, the news quickly spreads. Depending on the severity and cost of the damage, meetings and blame can follow. The repercussions for failing to take proper precautions can be loss of jobs, contracts, and ultimately reputation.
PROJECT DOWN TIME
Construction projects run on strict timelines. A stoppage in work due to a utility strike or severed post-tension cable can be costly. The investigation process takes time in addition to whatever repairs must take place. Damage prevention by using ground penetrating radar can keep projects on schedule – saving time and money.
PROPERTY DAMAGE
When you strike an underground pipe or subsurface reinforcing, the results are detrimental to surrounding areas. Concrete walls and surfaces, along with structural integrity will be compromised as the result of these damages. Therefore, GPRS uses GPR and other key tools to mitigate damages to utilities and surrounding property.
INJURIES & ACCIDENTS
At GPRS, our most important tool is our people. When GPRS is called to a jobsite, our people use the latest in locating technology to make sure that your people and your team is safe. When underground facilities are not located prior to excavation, your most important asset is at risk – your people.
COMPANIES WE PARTNER WITH
When GPRS places a green box within a layout prior to cutting or coring concrete, we guarantee that area to be free of obstructions.
