TransCanada Utilities provides dependable private utility locating services designed to protect your project and property. Our skilled technicians identify and mark all buried infrastructure, including hydro lines, telecommunications cables, water pipes, storm and sanitary sewers, street lighting, traffic signal wiring, and transit lines, before any digging begins.
Public utility locates like Ontario One Call are essential, but they don’t tell the whole story. Their service typically covers only major utility lines owned by municipalities or utility companies, such as primary gas, water, and electrical mains. Many underground assets on private property, like secondary hydro lines, sprinkler systems, communication cables, sewer laterals, or lighting circuits, are not included in these public locates. That’s where private utility locating comes in.
Digging without a full understanding of what’s beneath the surface can be dangerous and expensive. Striking a buried gas line, electrical cable, or water pipe can result in serious injuries, property damage, or service outages. Our private locate services help homeowners, builders, and contractors identify all potential underground hazards before starting any excavation, whether you’re planting trees, installing a fence, or beginning a major construction project.
