Private Utility Locating in Coquitlam

Public utility locates cover only the public-owned portion of buried infrastructure. Everything on private property — water lines from the meter, gas lines past the meter, irrigation, drainage, septic, private hydro, fibre, communication — is your responsibility to identify before excavation. Our private utility locating combines ground-penetrating radar, electromagnetic locating, and where applicable sondes and tracer wires to map every detectable subsurface line. Deliverables include site marks, photo documentation and a referenced map for the project file. We do this work routinely for general contractors, electrical contractors, plumbers, landscape architects and homeowners across Greater Vancouver.

What gpr leak detection typically finds in Coquitlam

Hillside utility locates where buried services follow contour, concrete scanning for City Centre tower projects.

Coquitlam's built environment — hillside single-family, growing tower district at Coquitlam Centre, large newer townhouse developments on Burke Mountain — shapes how private utility locating is delivered locally. Coquitlam's terrain — steep slopes off Burke Mountain and Eagle Ridge, watercourses, heavy winter rain — means drainage and seepage problems are common, and underground service mapping on hillside properties is rarely straightforward.
