Utility Mapping (CAD) in British Columbia
Professional CAD-compatible utility mapping and as-built documentation for BC properties and infrastructure projects.
Professional Utility Mapping (CAD) Across BC
Utility mapping transforms field-collected GPS and depth data into professional CAD-compatible drawings that serve as permanent records of buried infrastructure. For property owners, facility managers, and engineering firms, accurate utility mapping is essential for future excavation planning, infrastructure management, and regulatory compliance. Our utility mapping service begins with comprehensive field data collection using RTK GPS for sub-centimetre horizontal accuracy and multiple depth measurement passes for vertical precision. We produce layered CAD drawings showing water, gas, electrical, telecom, sewer, and storm drainage utilities in separate colour-coded layers, annotated with depth measurements, pipe materials, diameters, and fitting locations. Deliverables include both digital CAD files and printed plot-ready drawings.

Frequently Asked Questions
What CAD format do you deliver?
We deliver in DWG (AutoCAD) and DXF formats as standard. PDF and GeoPDF outputs are also available for non-CAD users.
How accurate is GPS-based utility mapping?
Horizontal accuracy is typically 1-2 cm with RTK GPS corrections. Depth accuracy depends on locating method but is typically ±10-25 cm.
