Why Accurate Utility Locating Matters
At RainierGPR Utility Locating, we fully understand why accurate utility locating is critical.
- Incorrect or incomplete utility locating can lead to damaged infrastructure, environmental harm, injury, or even loss of life. We find underground utilities to ensure construction can happen safely and without problems.
- Accurate locating also minimizes costs and delays. Hitting an unmarked utility line can result in fines, repairs, project stoppages, and legal problems. These consequences can be costly in terms of both time and money. With our Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) technology and trained technicians, we provide the detail and reliability to avoid these unnecessary expenses.
- Precise utility mapping gives contractors and crews the information they need to break ground confidently. They can dig with the assurance that all utilities have been adequately accounted for and marked. This peace of mind lets them focus on the work rather than worrying about striking an unidentified line.
At RainierGPR Utility Locating, we take our responsibility seriously. Our GPR systems are professionally calibrated and operated by highly experienced technicians to generate the most accurate results possible. We do not cut corners or make assumptions. We systematically scan sites, analyze data, and clearly mark all located utilities before delivering our final report.
When utility locating is done right the first time, projects stay on schedule and within budget. By choosing RainierGPR Utility Locating, you are choosing quality, safety, and reliability. Our accurate, professionally-conducted surveys provide the foundation for efficient, disruption-free construction.
