Private Utility Locating Contractor

Utility line strikes are on the rise, and yet many excavation contractors only follow local or state regulations to call “811” before digging. These services are only required to find public utilities, however, leaving the private utility lines to guesswork.

What You Need to Know: Private utility lines exist alongside public utilities, and are not being identified by standard utility locating services. If your project strikes or damages a utility line while digging, you will be responsible for repairing the damages.

Utilizing any private utility locating contractor still may not be enough unless a thorough investigation takes place prior to digging, there is still a lot of risk for a line strike. GPRS has a proven process and track record to not only locate subsurface utility lines, but to provide complete maps after the investigation to help ensure that your dig is safe.

GPRS can provide your team with a wide range of subsurface utility mapping options, from simple field sketches to a full-blown AutoCAD report, pinpointing exactly where buried private utility lines lie. Our advanced reporting will provide you with a permanent utilities location record for future reference. Scan once and make sure your job site is ready for your team to start digging.

Concrete Scanning Services

From hanging signage in a parking deck to installing sanitary lines in a basement, you need to know what’s behind that concrete. Knowing where the critical utility lines in a concrete slab or wall is information that can save you costly repairs, change orders, downtime and potential worker injury. GPRS utilizes the latest concrete scanning equipment to identify utility lines embedded in the concrete, providing fast and reliable layouts marked directly on to the concrete surface.

What You Need to Know: Scanning the concrete to locate subsurface private utility lines will minimize the risks of striking electrical conduits, sewer lines, rebar, post tension cables and more, saving you costly repairs and downtime in the process.

Having a visual representation of what lies beneath the concrete surface provides the driller or excavator the line of sight he needs to perform the job safely and accurately. GPRS can mobilize on short notice, often within hours, to your job site. With concrete scanning contractors in nearly every major market in the United States, our team of private utility mapping contractors is just a phone call away.

We provide the most reliable, most complete public and private utility locating services in the industry. Don’t take a chance with your job. Scanning the concrete first will minimize the risks of striking rebar, electrical conduits, post tension cables and more.
