Know what's underground before you dig

Utility Locating

Before any excavation, knowing the exact position and depth of underground utilities is a legal requirement and a safety imperative. Our utility locating service combines ground penetrating radar with electromagnetic (EM) induction to identify both conductive and non-conductive buried services — delivering the confidence you need before the first shovel breaks ground. We serve contractors, municipalities, and engineers across Vancouver Island, the Lower Mainland, and Gulf Islands BC.
