About This Service
Underground utility strikes are one of the most costly and dangerous risks in construction and excavation. ClearView's utility locating services eliminate that risk by precisely identifying and marking the location of all detectable buried utilities and obstructions before any ground disturbance begins. Our certified technicians use a combination of electromagnetic (EM) locating and ground penetrating radar (GPR) to detect gas lines, electric cables, water mains, sewer pipes, telecom conduits, and more — delivering results you can trust.
Key Benefits

Site Assessment
We review available utility records, as-builts, and site conditions to plan the locating approach.
EM Locating
Electromagnetic equipment is used to trace conductive utilities across the project area.
GPR Scanning
Ground penetrating radar sweeps the area to detect non-conductive utilities and confirm EM findings.
Surface Marking
Utilities are marked on the surface using color-coded paint and flags per APWA standards.
Documentation
A detailed report with maps, photos, and findings is delivered for your records and project team.
