Pre-Construction Surveys in New Westminster

Pre-construction utility surveys deliver the subsurface information construction teams need before turning a sod. The work combines private utility locating, GPR scanning, and ASCE 38 subsurface utility engineering deliverables. Where appropriate we coordinate vacuum-truck potholing for Quality Level A confirmation. The output is a marked site, a referenced map and the engineering confidence to commit to a construction sequence.

BC's oldest city has a deep stock of heritage homes (Queens Park, the West End) alongside ageing river-edge concrete towers and modern mid-rise Quayside developments. Heritage plumbing realities and ageing tower envelope failures dominate the workload.
