Util-Locate provides Subsurface Utility-line Mapping services to our clients including field-mapping and providing Computer Aided Drawing in PDF format for future use.

After we field-locate and identify the utility lines, we then field-map the locations by physically measuring off-sets from buildings and or landmarks and noting the utilities by drawing-in the locations on a site-plan.

We can take it one-step further by providing you with a Computer Aided Drawing or AutoCAD to be implemented on an existing site-drawing for record or future use. We will also save the drawing in PDF format for easier viewing which will give you the liberty in transferring the e-file drawing via e-mail to whomever and whenever you would like. In order to provide you with a finished product, we would need from you a CAD file of the project site for this work to be done. See more underground utility locator.

Further Information:

Util-Locate is not a licensed Civil Engineer or Surveyor in-order for our mapping-work to be certified. We map the utility-locations as accurately as possible by using measuring & mapping tools. Our mapping work is to show all surveyed utilitities & give our client a basic overview of the project they are engaging in and to help assess what to expect when designing or performing the preliminary site-work.

Extreme caution must be used when locating buried utilities and excavating! There are many factors to be considered such as: soil conditions, a condition of pipe or cable. (Continuous, broken or cut line or badly corroded, etc.). We are trained to use very sophisticated electronic equipment and we have the ability to interpret the signals which this equipment emits. This is the key to a successful locate, which allows you to dig with confidence. We work with you and for you! Read more about underground cable locating.

There are several different methods we use to locate utilities. The best way is to emit an electromagnetic signal from a pipe. This is done by attaching a transmitter to the pipe and following it with a receiver. If we can’t achieve a direct connection to the pipe, we can attach a clamp that encircles the pipe or a coil placed above the pipe. This method works for metal conduits or cables that are welded, soldered or braided together. There are many pipes that are made from materials that cannot be detected with conventional methods such as plastic, clay, concrete, and insulated cast iron. But we still have methods to locate these pipes too! That’s where our experience and expertise is such a great asset to you.
