Utility Locating Services

Utility locating is essential for safe and efficient construction and excavation projects. At Worthington NW, we use advanced tools and technology to accurately identify and map underground utilities, including water pipes, gas lines, electrical cables, and communication networks. Our focus on precision ensures minimal risk of costly damages, delays, or safety hazards.

    Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)

    Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a non-invasive technology used to detect and map underground utilities with pinpoint accuracy. Using high-frequency radar pulses, GPR can identify metallic and non-metallic utilities, voids, and buried obstructions. This advanced method reduces the risk of accidental damage during excavation and helps ensure compliance with safety regulations, saving time and reducing project costs.

    GPS Mapping

    Our GPS mapping services provide accurate and detailed underground utility maps, enabling better planning and coordination for construction and excavation projects. With advanced geospatial technology, we deliver digital records of utility locations, including depths and spatial relationships, ensuring project managers and crews have reliable information for decision-making and compliance.

    Concrete Scanning

    Before drilling, cutting, or coring into concrete, it’s essential to know what lies beneath the surface. Our concrete scanning services use advanced imaging tools to detect embedded utilities, rebar, and other structural elements within concrete structures. This non-destructive approach minimizes risk, avoids costly mistakes, and ensures structural integrity is maintained throughout the project.

    Water Leak Detection

    Unaddressed water leaks can lead to significant damage and unnecessary expenses. Our water leak detection services use specialized acoustic and sensor-based equipment to locate leaks in underground water lines with minimal disruption. Early detection not only prevents water loss but also reduces repair costs and protects surrounding infrastructure from damage.
