Preconstruction Utility Locating

Before ground is broken on any public works project, our crews use hydroexcavation to safely locate and expose buried utility lines. This non-destructive process gives engineering teams and project managers the accurate subsurface data they need to plan around existing infrastructure, reducing the risk of utility strikes, service interruptions, and costly delays. Call 614-961-5787 to schedule preconstruction locating for your next project.

Potholing for Water Line Safety

Potholing is the process of using hydroexcavation to expose and verify subsurface utilities, including the depth, size, and material of underground water lines. For municipal utility departments and water agencies, this service provides the accurate field data needed to assess aging infrastructure, confirm pipe materials, and support community safety initiatives — all without the damage risk of mechanical digging.
