Utility Location
Locating Utilities
The act of locating utilities through hydrovac is becoming increasingly common. This is the safest way for workers to locate the underground utilities and it helps to minimize potential damage and downtime that would have occurred if the exact location was not known. By exposing them by hand, the utilities can be repaired, installed, and inspected more efficiently. Hand exposure of underground utilities in an area where ground disturbances are intended, is a must. One call to SAFE hydrovac is all you need for our trained operators to show up and locate utilities in no time.
Detection
Because there are so many different types of materials that are used to make and hide the underground lines, there are different detection and location methods. Electromagnetic locating equipment is used to detect metal pipes and conductive cables with help from a transmitter and receiver. For more traditional types of pipes, such as concrete or plastic, other types of radar detection is used, such as ground-penetrating radar or radiolocation. Hydrovac is by far the most advanced, time efficient, and safest method to help locate any underground utilities.
