Precise and Efficient Utility Locating Services
Locate With Precision
Utility locating is the process of identifying and mapping underground utilities before any excavation work begins. Using advanced scanning technology, our trained technicians detect buried gas lines, water mains, electrical conduits, telecommunications cables, and sewer pipes to create an accurate picture of what lies beneath the surface. This critical first step prevents accidental utility strikes that can cause injuries, service disruptions, project delays, and costly repairs.
NG Companies uses advanced electromagnetic scanning and ground penetrating radar to accurately identify and map underground utilities before excavation begins, preventing costly damage and dangerous strikes.
Electromagnetic Scanning
Detects metallic utilities including water pipes, gas lines, and electrical conduits by tracing electromagnetic signals along their paths underground.
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)
Uses radar pulses to image the subsurface, identifying both metallic and non-metallic utilities such as PVC pipes, concrete structures, and fiber optic lines.
Utility Marking and Mapping
Precise surface marking and documentation of all identified utilities using industry-standard color codes and detailed field sketches for project reference.
GIS Integration
Digital mapping and geographic information system integration to create comprehensive, shareable utility maps that support long-term infrastructure planning.
Responsive Service
Our nationwide teams are positioned to mobilize quickly and provide utility locating services on your timeline, not ours. We understand project schedules and deliver accordingly.
Accelerated Production
Accurate utility maps from the start eliminate guesswork and allow excavation crews to work confidently and efficiently, keeping your project on schedule.
Safety Assurance
Knowing exactly where utilities are located before breaking ground dramatically reduces the risk of accidental strikes, protecting workers and the public.
Combine Utility Locating With Other Services for Turnkey Utility Protection
Utility Locating + Hydrovac
After locating utilities, use hydrovac excavation to physically expose and verify their exact position, depth, and condition for complete confidence before construction.
Utility Locating + Hydro Jetting
Combine utility locating with line jetting to identify underground pipe systems and then clear them of debris, buildup, and obstructions.
Utility Locating + Video Pipe Inspection
Locate underground pipes and then inspect their interior condition with CCTV cameras to assess structural integrity and identify maintenance needs.
Our utility locating team combines cutting-edge technology with deep field experience to deliver the accurate, reliable results our clients depend on. Every locate we perform is an investment in project safety and efficiency.
