Services offered

  • Private Utility Locating

    We find and mark private underground utilities before you dig, using EM locating and GPR. Marks go down in APWA color code. Quality Level B per ASCE 38-22 - horizontal position, no depth.

  • Concrete Scanning & Rebar Location

    Before you cut, core, or drill, we scan the slab and mark what is inside it: rebar, post-tension cable, conduit, and voids. Your saw operator works to a line instead of a guess.

  • Sewer Lateral Locating

    We trace residential sewer laterals with a 512 Hz sonde through an accessible cleanout and mark the alignment in APWA green, up to 75 feet.

  • Utility Takeoffs & Plan Measurement

    Send the plan set and we measure utility footage off the drawings. You get a clear split between what was measured and what was extrapolated, so you know which numbers carry risk.

  • Mapping & Documentation

    Marks fade; the record does not. GPS positions of the marks as placed, delivered as KMZ or shapefile, with markout summaries, clearance letters, and photo logs.

  • 811 Ticket Management

    We file, track, and renew your Colorado 811 tickets so crews never wait on a locate or dig on an expired one. You send the dig schedule; we handle the rest.

  • Damage Investigation & Expert Support

    When a line gets hit, we reconstruct what was marked, what was requested, and what the records show. Site inspection, records review, and a written findings report.

  • Emergency Response

    Same-day and next-day mobilization when the schedule will not wait, plus evening and weekend work. Tell us the deadline and we will tell you honestly if we can meet it.

  • Excavation Support

    On-site standby while you dig. We stay with the crew, watch the marks as the excavation opens, and re-check anything that looks off. Billed hourly, portal to portal.

Reviews

Reggie came through by doing a short notice survey for me helping avoid delays in the project. Highly recommended.

I have been looking for a private location service that is locally owned and I have had a heck of a time getting any responses. I am so happy with the ease and responsiveness of APEX Locating Services. We have a consistent need for a private locator because we often need to dig on private property...
