Utility Locating Services in Colorado Springs & the Front Range
Private utility locating, concrete scanning, sewer lateral tracing, 811 ticket management, takeoffs, mapping, damage investigation, emergency response and excavation standby. Each has its own page; this one is the short version.
What we do
Nine things, one locator, no depth guesses
Private utility locating. 811 marks the utility companies' lines up to the meter. We find and mark everything past it, power, gas, water, irrigation, sewer laterals, with an electromagnetic locator and ground-penetrating radar, painted in APWA color code where the line runs. Anything we could not find goes in writing. Residential is a flat rate for the visit; commercial by the half-day or day.
GPR concrete scanning. Before anyone cuts, cores or drills, we scan the slab, wall or deck and mark the rebar, post-tension cable, conduit and voids on the surface. Position only, no structural opinion, no cutting by us.
Sewer lateral locating. A sonde through the cleanout, followed above ground and painted in green. A locate, not a camera inspection.
811 ticket management. For contractors filing tickets every week: we file, watch the member responses, chase the ones that have not responded, renew before the lapse, and keep the monthly record. The utilities still do their own marks.
Utility takeoffs. Send the civil plan set and get underground utility footage by type, per sheet, as a PDF and a CSV, with measured footage kept separate from extrapolated. For estimating, not for digging. Remote, no site visit.
Mapping and documentation. Marks fade; the record does not. GPS positions of the marks as placed, delivered as KMZ or shapefile, plus markout summaries and photo logs when the project needs paper.
Damage investigation. When a line gets hit, we reconstruct what was requested, what was marked and what the records show: site inspection, records review, and a written findings report.
Emergency and after-hours. Same-day and next-day mobilization when the schedule will not wait, and evening or weekend work when the job runs there.
Excavation standby. We stay with the crew while they dig, watch the marks as the ground opens, and re-check anything that looks off. Booked as a half-day or full-day block, hours counted on site.
Every one of these starts the same way: send the address and what you are doing through the request form, or call or text (719) 800-4937, and you get a firm number, within one business day.
