UTILITY LOCATING

Collectively, F3 subsurface technicians have more than 40 years of experience in locating underground pipes and structures.  Our field experience was obtained on tough job sites, including airports, military bases, city streets, oil refineries, shopping malls, universities, and industrial parks.

F3 Utility Locating and Mapping

Professional looking utility maps showing pipes sizes and depths, marked out by F3 subsurface and collected by our very competent land survey team in state plane, arbitrary or jobsite coordinates. Our professional drafters then produce a great drawing, stamped by a licensed land surveyor if necessary.

Utility detection and mapping applications include:

• Locating electrical lines conduit and cables

• Locating telecommunication and fiber optics lines

• Locating gas, oil, steam and petroleum pipes

• Locating sewers and storm drains

• Locating drinking water, reclaimed water and irrigation pipes

F3 Concrete Scanning with GPR

F3’s concrete scanning experience dates back to 2005. We understand the benefits and pitfalls of concrete scanning.  The data collected is used to analyze and measure the appropriate remedial solutions for concrete structural deficiencies and building remodels to avoid risk during cutting, coring or drilling.

Concrete scanning applications in search of common embedded objects and subsurface hazards include:

• Determine pavement layer thickness

• Locating rebar

• Locating post-tension anchors and cables

• Locating gas and sanitary lines

• Locating gas and electrical services

• Locating pipes and conduit

• Locating air pockets and voids hidden below concrete or asphalt

• Locating storage tanks
