Before any digging or excavation begins, it’s essential to know what’s underground. Geotek Services provides utility locating services in Sarasota, FL, to help contractors and builders identify buried lines, cables, and tanks before breaking ground. Our team uses Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and Electromagnetic Induction (EMI) to locate underground utilities safely and efficiently.
Accidentally hitting a water line, gas pipe, or power cable can cause major damage and project delays. We help you avoid these problems by scanning your site and clearly marking utilities. With Geotek Services, you’ll have the information you need to dig safely and stay on schedule.
Here’s how our locating services keep Sarasota job sites safe and productive.
Our Utility Locating Services
Every project site presents unique challenges, so our scans are tailored to the specific type of soil and the scope of work. We utilize both GPR and EMI to locate underground utilities accurately.
Our team can detect:
- Water, sewer, and gas lines
- Electric, telecom, and fiber optic cables
- Underground storage tanks (USTs)
- Metal and plastic pipes
- Large vaults and monitoring well covers
We utilize a combination of instruments calibrated for soil conditions at various depths. With our utility locating services in Sarasota, FL, you can dig with confidence knowing where buried utilities are located.
See What’s Beneath Before You Dig
Many construction delays start with something unseen underground. Our GPR sends radar waves through the soil to detect buried materials, such as pipes and conduits. EMI adds another layer by tracing active and conductive lines, such as power and communication cables.
These instruments work together to create an overall view of what lies beneath your site. GPR can locate both metal and nonmetal objects, while EMI pinpoints live or conductive lines that radar alone might not detect. Once we mark the detected utilities, your crew can work around them.
