Utility Solutions Today
Private Utility Locating & GPR
Locate and mark private electric, water, sewer, gas, communications, lighting and other underground facilities. We use electromagnetic locating and ground-penetrating radar to investigate conductive utilities, nonconductive lines, unknown targets, voids and subsurface anomalies.
GPS & ArcGIS Facility Mapping
DC Locating transforms underground utility systems into an organized, interactive ArcGIS record. We direct-connect, locate and field-mark accessible utilities, GPS-pinpoint their routes and assets, collect facility IDs, photos and field notes, and build the information into a searchable GIS map. Ideal for municipalities, public utilities, schools, campuses, trailer parks, apartment complexes and large facilities.
Damage Consulting & Training
When a utility damage occurs, documentation often determines who is held responsible. DC Locating independently reviews the damage, 811 ticket history, locate records, photographs, timestamps, tolerance zones and field evidence to identify liability weaknesses and documentation gaps.
Independent Utility Locate Auditing
Independent, third-party quality assurance audits for utility owners and damage prevention departments. We evaluate locate accuracy, contractor performance, and compliance — delivering objective, evidence-based reports with no influence from the locating vendor being evaluated.
