Environmental Consultants
A soil boring or a monitoring well goes exactly where the sampling plan says it goes, and the sampling plan was drawn from a site map that predates half the utilities on the property.
The 811 call covers the public network up to the meter. Everything past that is unmarked: private laterals, site lighting, irrigation, abandoned lines nobody documented. That is precisely the ground your drill rig is heading for.
What we run for you
Underground utility locating
Locates private utilities that 811 does not cover, marked on the ground before anything breaks it.
Utility mapping
Compiles what was found into site drawings, so the locate outlives the paint and informs the next phase of work.
Concrete imaging & scanning
Scans slabs before coring, where a boring has to go through structure rather than soil.
What you get
Marked ground and a drawing of what is underneath it, so the boring plan can be adjusted before mobilization rather than during it.
One-call members mark their own lines to the meter. Past that demarcation, locating is private by definition, and that is the part we do.
Questions we hear from environmental consultants
We called 811. Why do we still need private locating?
One-call members mark the lines they own, up to the meter. On most sites that is a fraction of what is buried. Private laterals, site lighting, irrigation and abandoned lines are past the demarcation and unmarked. Boring plans go through exactly that ground.
Can you clear boring and monitoring-well locations?
Yes. Each location is swept and marked before the rig mobilizes, and conflicts get flagged early enough to shift the point instead of the schedule.
Do we get documentation or just paint on the ground?
Both. Findings can be compiled into site drawings, so the locate survives the weather and feeds the next phase instead of expiring with the paint.
