Utility locating
What is meaning of utility locating?
The ever-increasing urbanisation of our modern world has led to much higher demands on utility companies and their networks as they strive to keep pace with urban development. From electricity to communication lines, gas, sewer, and water networks, these valuable services are crucial to our daily lives and play a key role in economic development. A modern city can easily have several million kilometers of buried utility lines, which makes for a rather complex subsurface environment.
To find all these lines, cables without destruction you can use the GPR method of utility locating.
