Private Utility Locating in Surrey

Private utility locating identifies the buried infrastructure on the client's side of the metre or property line — the work BC One Call does not cover. We combine ground-penetrating radar, electromagnetic locating and sonde-based methods to map every detectable subsurface line. The deliverable is a marked-up site, a referenced map, and confidence metadata about each detection. This is the foundational work behind every safe excavation in a developed area.

What pipe mapping typically finds in Surrey

Utility scanning for City of Surrey capital projects and the city's rapidly expanding rights-of-way.

Surrey's built environment — newer single-family subdivisions, large townhouse complexes, growing City Centre tower district, rural-residential in Cloverdale — shapes how private utility locating is delivered locally. Surrey is BC's largest-growing city. Most leak work here is on construction built 1990–present: large townhouse complexes, big single-family subdivisions, and increasingly tall mixed-use towers in Whalley/City Centre. Cloverdale and the eastern parts retain rural-residential character with private wells and septic.

Who uses private utility locating in Surrey
