Private Utility Locating in Delta

Private utility locating identifies the buried infrastructure on the client's side of the metre or property line — the work BC One Call does not cover. We combine ground-penetrating radar, electromagnetic locating and sonde-based methods to map every detectable subsurface line. The deliverable is a marked-up site, a referenced map, and confidence metadata about each detection. This is the foundational work behind every safe excavation in a developed area.

Subsurface scanning for Corporation of Delta capital projects and dyke-system work.

Delta's built environment — single-family in Ladner and North Delta, low-rise development in Tsawwassen, agricultural and industrial in Tilbury and Ladner farmland — shapes how private utility locating is delivered locally. Most of Delta sits at or below sea level on the Fraser delta, protected by dykes and pump stations. Water-table issues, slab leaks and stormwater inflow into sanitary systems are recurring themes, and utility work has to respect strict drainage and ALR constraints.
