UTIL-LOCATE, INC. provides mapping and underground utility line locating services according to design built specifications and after excavation. Our clients depend on us to keep the community safe by locating sensitive utility lines that form their infrastructure. Besides electrical line locating our services include locating telephone lines and fiber optic line locating.

We cater to a wide clientele like General Contractors, Government Departments, School Districts, Private facility owners and even residential property owners who want to know how the infrastructure under their property is laid out especially if they want tocut costs before installing or uprooting any structure.

Our state of the art Electromagnetic (EM) equipment allows us to locate cables and metallic pipes through the right frequencies that are necessary for a survey. The wide range of frequencies at our disposal indicate hidden pipe or cable connections underground which in turn also helps site technicians adjust according to any unforeseen soil conditions.

Buried Line Locator Equipment

Our equipment also allows us to gauge accurate depth estimates. This helps contractors target conductors that can be applied for design information and excavation purposes. Our tracking services are highly accurate and provide 93% to 97% "hand dig" tolerance with 28 inches on either side of the utility lines.

Direct Connection

UTIL-LOCATE, INC uses highly accurate Direct Connection techniques in order to locate utility lines electromagnetically. This method provides clients with a variety of options for locating telephone lines as well as other utilities. Some of them are as follows -

• The transmitter's power output and frequency is adjusted according to the type of line that is being located taking into account the state of the surrounding soil as well as other utility lines.
• The electromagnetic transmitter is placed next to an access point like a wall, vault or any structure where contact with the utility line can be made.
• The transmitter's frequency is made to match the frequency of the receiver. The signal sent through the utility line is tracked on the surface.
