Water Line Locating in British Columbia

Knowing the exact route and depth of buried water lines is essential for excavation planning, construction projects, and leak investigation. Water line locating uses electromagnetic tracing (for metallic pipes) and GPR (for plastic pipes) to trace the alignment and determine the depth of buried water infrastructure. We locate both the utility-owned water main in the street and the private service line from the property line to the building. Our technicians provide surface markings, depth measurements, and GPS coordinates that guide excavation crews and inform leak detection surveys. Water line locating is often the first step in an underground leak investigation, as knowing the pipe alignment is essential for planning the acoustic listening grid.
