Private Utility Locating in North Vancouver

Private utility locating identifies the buried infrastructure on the client's side of the metre or property line — the work BC One Call does not cover. We combine ground-penetrating radar, electromagnetic locating and sonde-based methods to map every detectable subsurface line. The deliverable is a marked-up site, a referenced map, and confidence metadata about each detection. This is the foundational work behind every safe excavation in a developed area.

Subsurface scanning for District and City of North Vancouver projects, with hillside-grade considerations.

North Vancouver's built environment — 1950s–70s character homes, modernized acreages, growing Lower Lonsdale tower district, Seymour and Lynn Valley wood-frame stock — shapes how private utility locating is delivered locally. North Vancouver's heavy rainfall, mountain runoff, and steep terrain combine to make moisture and envelope work a constant. Many properties date from a leak-prone era of West Coast modern construction, with flat roofs, large overhangs, and complex drainage paths.
