Utility Locates

You need clear, accurate markings to reduce project risk and keep your crews productive. We coordinate with Ontario One Call and use our in-house, certified teams for both public and private locates.

This control over the schedule helps you avoid the common delays caused by waiting for third-party providers.

The First Step to a Safe Project

Excavating without knowing what is buried underground is a serious risk. Hitting a gas line, fibre optic cable, or power line leads to dangerous situations, expensive repairs, and lengthy project shutdowns.

A professional utility locate is the first and most important step before any digging begins. It identifies and marks the position of buried infrastructure, creating a clear and safe work plan for your excavation crews.

Your Utility Locate Services

We provide a full range of locate services to give you a complete picture of what is below the surface, whether on public or private property.

Public Utility Locates

As an Ontario One Call Certified Vendor, we perform locates for publicly owned infrastructure. Using our team instead of waiting for a traditional Locate Service Provider (LSP) gives you more control over your project timeline.

Private Utility Locates

You get a complete view of all buried lines on your property. Utility companies only mark what they own up to the property line. Our private locate service marks everything else, including water pipes, septic lines, and private power cables.

Pre-Engineering Locates

Before you finalize your design, we perform locates to inform your engineering plans. This helps you avoid costly redesigns by routing around buried obstacles from the start.

Our Locate and Clearance Process

Your locate request follows a simple four-step process to get your site cleared for work quickly.

Request and Assessment

You submit your project details and the area that needs to be cleared. We review the scope and check the relevant utility records for the site.

Technician Dispatch

We dispatch one of our certified locate technicians to your site. Because they are part of our team, we can schedule this work without waiting for an outside provider.

Field Marking and Verification

Our technician uses specialized equipment to find and mark the location of all buried lines with paint and flags.

Documentation and Clearance

You receive all necessary documentation and a formal clearance notice. Your excavation crews have the information they need to dig safely and confidently.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between public and private locates?

Public locates, requested through Ontario One Call, mark the utility-owned infrastructure running up to your property line. Private locates mark any lines buried on the property itself, which are the property owner’s responsibility.

Because we use our own in-house team, we have direct control over the schedule. This is much faster than the traditional model, which often involves long waits for a third-party locate service provider to become available.

Yes. We provide detailed documentation for all the work we do. For locates, this confirms what was marked and provides a clear record for your project files and any required inspections.

Control Your Schedule with In-House Locates

For any construction project, waiting for locates is one of the biggest and most unpredictable bottlenecks. A third-party provider’s busy schedule can force your crews to stand by for days, delaying your entire project.

By using our in-house, certified locate team, you take back control of that schedule. We prioritize your project, compress the ticket-to-dig timeline, and keep your crews working. This is a key part of how we deliver our larger construction projects on time.
