We have a full range of tools and equipment for locating utilities and other objects underground and in concrete. Here are a few of them.

RD-8000 Electronic Locator
We perform our electronic locating using a top-of-the-line RD-8000 pipe and cable locator. This state of the art locator can operate on 18 different frequencies, each of which is best-suited for a particular underground environment. The RD-8000 can find the depth of buried utilities to within four inches, and can detect the presence of utilities up to fifty feet below the surface under ideal conditions.

Mala CX Concrete Scanner
Our concrete scanner is a Mala CX structural ground-penetrating radar, a specialized type of GPR that is specifically designed to find utilities and other objects in concrete slabs. This unit can construct plots of scanned utilities in two or three dimensions, and can even tell if power cables in a slab are energized. We also have a variety of antennas of varying frequencies for the Mala CX, each of which provides a particular balance between penetration depth and scan resolution.

Mala Easy Locator
We use a Mala Easy Locator wheeled ground-penetrating radar unit for underground utility imaging. As something of a big brother to the handheld Mala CX, the Easy Locator is used primarily to locate non-metallic utilities and underground storage tanks. Like the CX, this unit also has switchable antennas that provide greater scan depth or higher resolution, depending on the needs of the locate. We've also outfitted our Easy Locator with an all-terrain cart, to ensure that this unit will work wherever we need it to.

Innspector Universal Locator
This new device is great for quickly determining the presence and approximate location of objects underground. The Innspector scans the ground with extremely high frequency radio waves, and indicates any abrupt change in ground density – such as that caused by a buried pipe or cable. The Innspector is new on the market this year, and we obtained the first unit this side of the Mississippi.
We also have metal detectors, fault detectors, sonde locators, water dyeing equipment ... if you'd like to know more, just let us know.
