Utility locating

Locate. Verify.Then dig.

Precise utility locating across British Columbia. Every line mapped. Every depth verified. Zero surprises underground.

±5cm AccuracyBC Wide

Six utility types. One locate team.

What's below.Mapped to the centimeter.

Public locates miss private. Old as-builts miss recent. The only way to dig confidently is to verify on site. Our locators trace every active line — gas, electric, water, telecom, sewer, fiber — and mark them at the surface, with depth.

How it works

Four steps.Total clarity.

Step 01

Scope Review

We confirm the dig area, request BC One Call tickets, and review available as-built drawings before mobilising a single truck.

Scope Review
Step 02

Signal Tracing

Electromagnetic equipment transmits on each utility frequency. Our locators trace the signal along the buried line.
