Buried Pipe & Utility Mapping in British Columbia

Professional Buried Pipe & Utility Mapping

Buried pipe and utility mapping uses GPR to locate and map underground pipes, conduits, and utilities — including non-metallic pipes that electromagnetic locators cannot detect. Our surveys produce maps showing pipe routes, depth, and material characteristics. This information is essential for excavation planning, leak detection investigations, renovation projects, and documenting as-built conditions. For underground leak investigations, GPR pipe mapping identifies the pipe route so acoustic and tracer gas surveys can be focused on the correct alignment.

Applications

• Excavation planning for construction projects
• Underground leak investigation pipe route mapping
• Utility locating for non-metallic pipes
• As-built documentation of buried infrastructure
• Landscaping and site work planning

Benefits

• Locates non-metallic pipes EM cannot find
• Provides depth measurements for all utilities
• Maps complete utility routes
• Essential first step for leak investigations
• Prevents utility strikes during excavation

Equipment Used

• GSSI SIR 4000 with 400 MHz and 1.6 GHz
• MALA ProEx with multi-frequency antennas
• IDS GeoRadar utility mapping system
