Task
Locate and map utilities at a service station in Ohio to ensure the safe and efficient installation of electric vehicle charging stations.
PROBLEM
- An EV charging station installer was hired to install chargers at a service station in Cambridge, Ohio
- There were no accurate as-builts of the buried infrastructure on the site
- The installation needed to be completed with minimal disruption to the station’s operations
Solution
- GPRS utilized electromagnetic (EM) locating and ground penetrating radar (GPR) to locate and map the utilities on-site
- The accurate, actionable data was uploaded to SiteMap® (patent pending), GPRS’ infrastructure mapping, and construction and facilities project management software application
- The GPRS Project Manager conducted their investigation without disrupting the service station’s operations
Benefits
- The installer was able to complete their work without striking any buried utilities, ensuring the safety of everyone on-site and the success of the project
- Services at the station were able to continue without the disruptions that would have occurred due to destructive and expensive potholing
- SiteMap ensured the entire project team had 24/7, secure access to the information they needed to avoid costly and potentially dangerous mistakes
