FAQ

What is utility locating?

Utility locating is the detection of underground utilities and other subsurface findings using ground penetrating radar (GPR) and other tools. Utilities and other findings can be located and marked out in a safe, non-destructive manner.

What types of utilities can be located?

Electric, steam, telecommunications, water pipes, gas & oil pipes, sewer pipes & storm sewer lines, and many other primary and secondary utility services can be located.

What equipment is used for utility locating?

Ground penetrating radar and electromagnetic locators are the primary tools used by utility locators such as GPRS to locate and map underground utilities. Professional utility locating technicians use a variety of tools, including electromagnetic (EM) locators, to locate and map underground utilities.

How much does utility locating cost?

The cost of a private utility locate varies depending on the size and specifics of the site being scanned, as well as other factors. Utility locates are not cheap, but as mentioned above they are a vital service and significantly less expensive than the cost – both financial and otherwise – of striking a utility line.

Can GPRS distinguish between each type of utility located?

In most situations, we can identify the utility in question without any problems, although it is not always possible to determine what type of utility is present. When this happens, we attempt to trace the utility to a valve, meter, control box, or other signifying markers to determine the type of utility buried.

What type of deliverables are provided after locating utilities?

Our Project Managers flag and paint our findings directly on the surface. This method of communication is the most accurate form of marking when excavation is expected to commence within a few days of service.
GPRS also uses a global positioning system (GPS) to collect data points of findings. We use this data to generate a plan, KMZ file, satellite overlay, or CAD file to permanently preserve results for future use. GPRS does not provide land surveying services. If you need land surveying services, please contact a professional land surveyor. Please contact us to discuss the pricing and marking options your project may require.

Will I need to mark out the utilities GPRS locates?

No, GPRS will locate and mark all utilities for you. We have a variety of tools and markers we can use to highlight the locations of utilities, underground storage tanks and whatever else may be hiding.

Does GPRS offer same day private utility locating?

Yes, our professional Project Managers can respond rapidly to emergency same-day private utility locating service calls on your job site.
