Risk-reduction scans before digging, drilling or coring.
Pre-construction utility surveys deliver the subsurface information construction teams need before turning a sod. The work combines private utility locating, GPR scanning, and ASCE 38 subsurface utility engineering deliverables. Where appropriate we coordinate vacuum-truck potholing for Quality Level A confirmation. The output is a marked site, a referenced map and the engineering confidence to commit to a construction sequence.
Utility Locators is a sub-division of Leak.ca, the Greater Vancouver leak detection company trusted since 1999. Every site visit is delivered by certified technicians using calibrated equipment, with documented findings formatted for insurance, engineering and procurement use.
We don't sell remediation. Our role is independent detection and assessment — the data you and your professional team work from.
