Conduit & Embed Locating in British Columbia
Slabs and walls carry embedded electrical conduit, plumbing and other services. A core or cut that severs one means an outage, a flood, or worse. Conduit and embed locating maps these before the penetration so the work avoids them.
Leaks.ca is the educational leak detection hub and service-support division of Leak.ca, helping BC property owners understand leak risks and connect with professional detection services when needed.
Conduit and embed locating uses GPR to detect electrical conduit, embedded pipe, sleeves and other inclusions within concrete, mapping their runs so cores, cuts and anchors are placed clear of live and critical services.
- Scan the penetration area
- Identify conduit and embeds in the profile
- Map their runs and mark clear zones
- Coordinate with as-builts where available
- Embedded electrical conduit
- Embedded pipe and sleeves
- Inclusions and embeds in the slab or wall
- Conduit bundled with reinforcement
Coring and cutting where embedded electrical or mechanical services may be present.
Coring crews and electricians locate conduit before cutting so a penetration never severs a live circuit or embedded line.

Conduit & Embed Locating — FAQ
Yes. GPR detects embedded conduit, pipe and sleeves by their radar reflection, so their runs can be mapped and marked. Locating them before coring or cutting prevents severing a live circuit or an embedded service.
