Safe, Reliable Utility Locating
Before you break ground, you need to know what’s below. Our buried utility locating services use advanced electromagnetic detection and ground-penetrating radar (GPR) to accurately identify underground infrastructure, helping you reduce risk, meet regulatory requirements, and dig with confidence.

Subsurface investigations are a legislated requirement for most ground disturbance activities. Our experienced field crews deliver real-time results, marking utilities directly on-site so your team can plan safely and effectively. By identifying underground hazards before work begins, we help prevent costly damages, delays, and safety risks.
We locate and trace a wide range of underground utilities, including:
Our Ground Penetrating Radar technologies exceed standard electromagnetic induction equipment limitations by detecting traditionally “unlocatable” utilities (nonconductive), ensuring nothing is missed.
Most quotes are returned within 1–2 business days. For urgent requests, our local crews can prioritize and at times provide same-day responses.
We maintain a strong local presence in Fort McMurray, allowing us to mobilize quickly for urgent or emergency locating services.
The timeline depends on the size and complexity of the site. Many small sites can be completed the same day, while larger or more complex projects may take longer.
Utility markings are provided in real time on-site. Digital maps and reports can typically be delivered within 24–48 hours following fieldwork. Field level reports can be delivered sooner.
Potential challenges include areas with limited sight lines, surface obstructions, congested underground environments, environmental factors, subsurface soil conditions (such as frozen ground or flooding), and the need to establish survey control if completing a data collection survey of the located items is required (Client specific request for record keeping). Our teams are trained to troubleshoot these challenges quickly and effectively.
