Frequently Asked Questions

  • 1. What is utility locating and why is it important?

    Utility locating identifies underground services like gas, water and electrical lines before digging. It prevents costly damage, service disruptions and safety hazards, and is often required by law for excavation projects.

  • 2. How does ground-penetrating radar (GPR) work in utility locating?

    GPR sends radio waves into the ground to detect buried objects like pipes and voids. It’s especially useful for locating non-metallic utilities and mapping subsurface features without excavation.

  • 3. Do I need utility locating before digging on private property?

    Yes. Even small projects like fencing or landscaping can hit buried services. Locating protects you from injury, damage and legal liability, and ensures safe, informed excavation.

  • 4. How accurate are utility locating services?

    Utility locating is generally accurate within a few centimetres, depending on conditions and tools used. Combining methods like GPR and electromagnetic locating improves reliability on complex sites.
