Explore our services below to see how we can help contribute to your project’s success.
Comprehensive Utility Locating, Scanning, Surveying & Site Services in VT & Beyond
UTILITY LOCATING
We locate conductive buried lines using electromagnetic induction, including phone, coaxial, fiber (with tracer), power, and gas. We can also find most water, sewer, and storm drain lines with various other location techniques.
LAND SURVEYING & UTILITY MAPPING
We survey utility locations and attributes upon request, delivering high-quality maps and digital files in formats like AutoCAD, ArcGIS, and Google Maps. Mapping is done under a licensed land surveyor using GPS and traditional survey methods.
GROUND PENETRATING RADAR (GPR)
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) helps us locate previously “un-locatable” utilities like PVC, clay tile, and USTs. We use the GSSI 623 UtilityScan™ and the MiniXT concrete scanner to detect rebar, conduits, and more, depending on site conditions.
CONCRETE SCANNING
Our GSSI StructureScan Mini XT portable concrete scanner helps locate rebar, post-tension cables, conduits, and voids in concrete walls and floors. It also detects slab thickness and provides 2D/3D imaging, ideal for small or large construction projects.
CAMERA PIPE INSPECTION
Our pipe camera inspection service identifies breaks, intrusions, and defects, provides video with distance markers, and pinpoints the line above ground with clear markings showing damaged areas or exact pipe location for accurate repairs.
ELECTRIC FAULTS
If you have an underground electrical fault, let VTUL help get you back in service fast. Our skilled techs work with licensed electricians to locate abnormal or broken conditions on underground cables using state-of-the-art locating equipment.
ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION GEOPHYSICAL SURVEYS
We use a Geonics EM61 Mark II which is a powerful time-domain metal detector that identifies ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It can detect a 55-gallon drum over 3m deep, resists cultural interference, and gives sharp peaks to quickly locate and estimate depth.
