Line Locating

Hydro-Con’s line locating services use state-of-the-art detection technology to accurately identify and mark underground utilities before excavation begins hcexcavation.com. By pinpointing pipes, cables, and other buried infrastructure, we prevent costly damage, reduce project delays, and ensure full compliance with local regulations.

Advanced Detection Technology

Electromagnetic Locators: Pinpoint metallic utilities (gas, water, sewer) using signal transmitters and receivers.
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR): Map non-metallic assets—like fiber optics or plastic conduits—up to several feet deep.
Multi-Frequency Capability: Adjust frequencies on the fly to cut through soil types and interference, giving you the clearest signal every time.

Comprehensive Site Survey

Pre-Excavation Planning: Review as-built drawings and GIS data to target known utility corridors.
Field Verification: Walk the site, mark utility lines with color-coded flags and paint per APWA standards.
Digital Mapping: Deliver a detailed map overlay (PDF or CAD) showing exactly where each line lies relative to project benchmarks.
