Find Underground Lines Before You Dig

Utility locating may be needed for many different reasons, but one of the major benefits is safety. By knowing where gas, electrical, and other utility lines are located underground, construction workers can take proper precautions when digging and avoid accidents.

What is Utility Locating?

Utility locating is a method used by engineers to locate underground facilities such as water and sewer lines. This method can also be used to find facilities such as gas and electric services, conduits, and cables. When the facilities are located, they can be mapped and any safety hazards can be identified

Horizontal Locating

Horizontal locators use a high-frequency transducer to send signals through the earth. The receivers detect the sound's strength and location, which is plotted on a map. Horizontal utility lines are often used for telecommunication cables.

Vertical Locating

Vertical locators work by sending low-frequency acoustics signals through the ground. These low frequencies can penetrate more than 20 feet of earth. The receivers detect the vibrations caused by the acoustic waves which are translated into an image of buried utilities, pipes, cables, and other structures. Vertical locating is often used for gas mains and water service pipes.

Facility Utility Locating and Mapping

A lack of up-to-date, as-built drawings and facility maps is a recipe for disaster when it comes to construction projects. The planning phase relies heavily on accurate information obtained from these detailed blueprints which show the site’s underground infrastructure, especially if there are any variations or renovations that were not known beforehand. At Savage Group, our deliverables department can update existing map files with new ones depicting actual conditions - including all pipes present.

Private Utility Locating

The 811 system is used for marking all publicly owned utilities but will not typically mark depths. Private utility locating firms must be utilized to ensure that buried lines are located accurately on construction project sites to avoid potential line strike damages.
