Underground Utility & Pipe Locating Services

Advanced detection of underground utilities using Electromagnetic (EM) and GPR technologies

We offer underground utility locating services for identifying the precise location and depth of buried water pipes, gas pipelines, electrical cables, telecom ducts, and other underground infrastructure. By utilizing Vivax-Metrotech vLoc3 Pro EM locators and MALA GPR systems, our team delivers fast, accurate, and non-destructive subsurface mapping in line with international standards.Whether for construction safety, asset documentation, or pre-design surveys, our utility locating solutions help clients avoid costly damages and delays.

Technology We Use

1. Vivax-Metrotech vLoc3 Pro (Electromagnetic Locator)

Locates metallic utilities like water, gas, telecom, and power cables

Multi-frequency transmitter and receiver system

Signal direction (SD) and current measurement (CM) for accurate identification

Depth estimation and mapping support

Supports both active and passive detection modes

2. GPR System (Ground Penetrating Radar)

Detects metallic and non-metallic utilities (e.g., plastic, concrete, water and gas pipeline)

Works in dry or moist soils, asphalt, and concrete surfaces

High-resolution subsurface imaging

Real-time display of pipe depth and profile

Follows ASTM standards for GPR surveys

Scope of Services

1. Utility Detection & Mapping

Water pipelines (metal and plastic)

Gas pipelines

High and low voltage cables

Communication & fiber optic ducts

Sewer lines and storm drains

Abandoned or unknown infrastructure

Plastic pipes using GPR where EM cannot detect

2. Depth Measurement & Marking

Accurate depth estimation (±10% depending on soil conditions)

On-site color-coded surface markings (paint or flags)

GPS or GIS integration for utility mapping (optional)

3. Utility Surveys for Pre-Construction Planning

Avoiding utility conflicts during excavation

Supporting Design & Build (D&B) and EPC contractors

Marking utilities prior to bore drilling or trenching

4. GPR Scanning for Non-Metallic Objects

Detecting PVC, HDPE, or concrete structures
