Underground Utility Locating
Near Madison, WI

Concrete Imaging Data

Utility mapping & utility locating services identify and mark underground utilities such as water pipes, gas lines, electrical cables, and telecommunications cables. This is done to prevent accidental damage to these utilities during construction or excavation projects.


Private utility locating is typically performed using specialized EM and GPR equipment to accurately locate and mark the utilities' positions. This helps ensure the safety of workers and the integrity of the utilities.

Our experts can perform the following types of locates:


  • Private Utility Locating: Private utilities are utility lines that are not owned or maintained by the public utility companies. These can include lines for private water, sewer, gas, or electrical systems. To locate private utilities, you may need to hire a private utility locating company or consult with a professional surveyor who specializes in private utility locates.


  • Secondary Utilities: Secondary utilities are utility lines that are not considered primary or essential services but still need to be located before excavation. These can include lines for irrigation systems, landscape lighting, or private communication lines. Contact the relevant service providers or consult with a professional to locate these secondary utilities.

During a concrete bridge deck inspection, several key areas are thoroughly inspected to assess the condition and integrity of the structure. These areas typically include:

  • GIS Exports

    GIS exports refer to the process of exporting data or maps from a Geographic Information System (GIS) software to a different format or file type. GIS software allows users to create, edit, analyze, and visualize spatial data, such as maps, satellite imagery, and geospatial datasets.


    Exporting GIS data can be done in various formats, depending on the specific requirements and intended use of the exported data. Some common GIS export formats include:


    Shapefile (.shp), KML/KMZ, GeoTIFF (.tif), CSV, PDF

  • CAD Overlays

    GPR and EM Locate CAD overlays refer to the process of overlaying GPR data onto a CAD software or drawing. This allows for the integration of GPR data with existing CAD drawings or models, providing a visual representation of the subsurface features detected by the GPR survey.


    By overlaying GPR data onto CAD software, engineers, architects, and other professionals can gain valuable insights into the subsurface conditions and make informed decisions during the design and construction process. It allows for a better understanding of the existing infrastructure and potential conflicts or risks that may arise during construction.

  • Field Markings

    Field Markings are used to show the location of all the utilities located on site.

  • Spalling and Scaling

    Spalling (chipping or flaking) and scaling (loss of the concrete's surface layer) are examined as they can lead to further deterioration.
