Dawson Creek Locating FAQ

How is utility locating done in Dawson Creek?

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

Does ground type in Dawson Creek affect GPR?

Yes. Peace-region clay and silt prone to frost heave; flat plateau drainage. GPR performs differently in clay, silt and granular ground, so the survey is adapted to Dawson Creek's conditions — and EM locating covers the metallic and tracer-wired lines regardless of soil.
