Private Utility Locating in Port Coquitlam

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.
