Gibsons's Network

Steep till and rock slopes above Howe Sound; localized waterfront soils.

For Gibsons Contractors & Trades

Excavators, coring/cutting crews, trades and engineers working in Gibsons use professional locating to clear dig areas and scan concrete before they break ground or cut.

Gibsons Locating FAQ

How is utility locating done in Gibsons?

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

Does ground type in Gibsons affect GPR?

Yes. Steep till and rock slopes above Howe Sound; localized waterfront soils. GPR performs differently in clay, silt and granular ground, so the survey is adapted to Gibsons's conditions — and EM locating covers the metallic and tracer-wired lines regardless of soil.
