USI Customers Could See Significant Savings With GPRS
Comprehensive Data Mitigates Risk – Saves Money, Time & Lives
Accurate utility detection and mapping are critical anywhere you plan to dig to mitigate risk, avoid utility strikes and ensure safety. Accurate concrete scans provide precise clearances for cutting, anchoring, and drilling. GPRS is committed top providing subsurface utility locating, utility mapping, and concrete scanning for all your buried facilities and slab reinforcements. Our Project Managers utilize multiple technologies and an industry-leading, field-tested methodology to ensure you know what's underneath before you dig, cut, or drill.
And we have the stats to back it up - a 99.8% accuracy rate for utility locating and concrete scanning to provide you with state of the art existing conditions documentation that gives you, and your underwriter, peace of mind.

///Above & BELOW GRADE
before you plan
When assessing a site for construction, knowing what’s underneath matters. GPRS provides complete subsurface locating and visualization of utilities and other underground features with 99.8%+ accuracy to deliver CAD drawings, GPS-enabled utility maps, or 3D models.
before you BUILD
Integrate your design plan with existing facilities and subsurface infrastructure before you break ground to provide your AEC professionals, subcontractors, and stakeholders with a comprehensive 3D BIM model that melds GPRS’ accurate above and below ground data to intelligently visualize existing and proposed features.
///MECHANICAL ELECTRICAL & PLUMBING
before you design/Update
When assessing a site for construction, knowing what’s underneath matters. GPRS provides complete subsurface locating and visualization of utilities and other underground features with 99.8%+ accuracy to deliver CAD drawings, GPS-enabled utility maps, or 3D models.
BEFORE YOU renovate
Connect the dots between what’s visible and what is hidden with updated as-builts that include hard-to-reach areas, and accurate locations of all your above or below ground MEP features. GPRS 3D Laser and Mapping & Modeling services can provide accurate, intelligent measurements of your project, pre or post-build, so no one is left guessing.
///architectural & structural
See Your Site in 3D
Assess existing structural conditions, walk your team or stakeholders through your project or entire facility, take rough measurements for planning, design, or maintenance, and capture floor plans and construction progress with 3D photogrammetry or laser scanning.
Mitigate Risk & Plan
GPRS 3D Laser Scanning services can capture our 99.8%+ accurate concrete scanning marks with 2-4mm accuracy to create a 3D BIM model of the interior of your concrete slabs, including PT cables, rebar, conduit, and other embedments, so you can safely cut, core, drill, or anchor with confidence.
///Point Clouds
Empower Your Team With Raw Data
Save time & money with 3D laser reality capture of your existing infrastructure and MEP features, including in hard-to-reach or dangerous areas. GPRS captures measurements with 2-4mm accuracy to provide you with 3D data in point clouds, CAD drawings, or BIM models, so you can avoid clashes and plan the most efficient routes for new piping.
Rely on Precise Measurements
Rely on the laser-focused accuracy of GPRS, even in expansive facilities and in the most hard-to-reach, and dangerous conditions. 3D laser scanning data maintains its accuracy in areas that defy traditional measurements to allow for prefabrication, design integration, and planning for expansion & renovation projects.

///BREAKS, DEFECTS & CROSS BORES. WE FIND THEM.
NASSCO is the National Association of Sewer Service Companies. NASCO sets industry standards for assessing, maintaining, and rehabilitating underground water and sewer infrastructure. All GPRS Project Managers are NASSCO trained and certified, and provide NASSCO Video Pipe Inspection Reports via WinCan for our customers, delivered via SiteMap® for secure, accessible documentation that’s available 24/7.
ALL GPRS PROJECT MANAGERS COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING CERTIFICATIONS:
Pipeline Assessment & Certification Program (PACP)
The Pipeline Assessment and Certification Program (PACP) is an international standard that has been used for many years as the assessment of pipelines, manholes, and laterals.
Lateral Assessment (LACP)
The NASSCO program for defect coding in lateral pipes. This program is the Lateral Assessment and Certification Program (LACP). This training addresses many fittings and access points that are unique to laterals.
Manhole Assessment (MACP)
The Manhole Assessment and Certification Program (MACP) provides training on the gathering of detailed information to fully document all defects, determine condition of the manhole, and provide the specific information needed to recommend corrective action
///LEAK APPLICATIONS
Active Leak Detection
Your Project Manager will flag and paint their findings directly on the surface so that you and your team know where it is and is not safe to dig. GPRS also uses a global positioning system (GPS) to collect data points of findings used to generate the maps and models you need to Intelligently Visualize The Built World®.
Routine Water Loss Surveys
By the time a leak becomes apparent, you’re already risking damage to your infrastructure and thousands of dollars in repairs and non-revenue water loss (NRW). Regular water loss surveys help you find leaks before they become emergencies.
Assesses pressurized subsurface water systems
Pinpoints and marks out any leaks detected
Allows for planning, targeted repair, and maintenance with minimal excavation
Fire Suppression System Checks
Along with your regular sprinkler, and vane (flow), pressure switch and fire pump checks, your facility should undergo an annual water flow check. It is vital to the safety of your facility and to remain compliant. Plus, system leaks can lose thousands of gallons of water before you notice, leading to large budget overruns. GPRS can locate leaks in any pressurized water line to make sure your system is effective when you need it.

Valve Exercising
When water system valves stiffen, they can impact flow and pressure with corrosion, rust, and mineral deposits. If left in a static position too long, stiffened valves can become inoperable or incompletely shut off. Exercising your valves regularly can avoid stiffening and the issues it can cause.
GPRS can provide valve exercising services to keep every part of your pressurized water system intact.
GPRS can provide valve exercising services to keep every part of your pressurized water system intact.
65% of all utility lines are private, not public, meaning 811 One Call services cannot locate them for you. GPRS provides complimentary digital and PDF utility maps of every utility on site, whether public or private – including depths where available – and can export your utility data into a wide variety of drawings, maps, and models that provide seamless communication and collaboration on any project.
All your data is delivered via SiteMap®, our industry-leading infrastructure visualization application that allows you to see every piece of your subsurface puzzle with exceptional accuracy and a state-of-the-art layered and geolocated interactive subsurface utility map. SiteMap® puts your project in your pocket for 24/7 control, accessibility, and secure sharing to help you plan, manage, dig, and build better.
