Fort St. John Locating FAQ

How is utility locating done in Fort St. John?

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

Does ground type in Fort St. John affect GPR?

Yes. Peace-region clay and till that heaves with frost and moisture; well-drained plateau uplands. GPR performs differently in clay, silt and granular ground, so the survey is adapted to Fort St. John's conditions — and EM locating covers the metallic and tracer-wired lines regardless of soil.
