Creston Locating FAQ

How is utility locating done in Creston?

In Creston, technicians combine electromagnetic (EM) line locating for metallic and tracer-wired services with ground-penetrating radar (GPR) for non-metallic pipe and concrete scanning. Creston is served by the municipal water system serving Creston and its surrounding Kootenays distribution network, and the locate is matched to the local network and ground conditions.

Does ground type in Creston affect GPR?

Yes. Kootenay River-valley silt and reclaimed flats with a high water table; benches of till above. GPR performs differently in clay, silt and granular ground, so the survey is adapted to Creston's conditions — and EM locating covers the metallic and tracer-wired lines regardless of soil.
