What is Public Utility Locate?
Public utility locating involves a specialized process where trained technicians use advanced tools and technology to identify the precise positions of underground utility lines prior to any digging or excavation work. This service is essential to prevent damage to critical infrastructure and ensure safety during construction projects.
One of the most widely used techniques for utility locating is based on electromagnetic detection. By emitting electromagnetic signals, the locating devices can pick up responses from buried utilities made of conductive materials such as electrical cables, telephone lines, water pipes, sewer systems, and gas lines. After identifying these utilities, technicians mark their locations on the ground with paint, providing clear guidance for excavators. The mapped information is also crucial for obtaining necessary permits and planning safe excavation activities.
