Prince Rupert's Network

Older neighbourhoods often retain early cast-iron and, in places, asbestos-cement mains alongside newer ductile-iron and PVC — a mix that calls for several detection methods.

For Prince Rupert Contractors & Trades

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

Prince Rupert Locating FAQ

How is utility locating done in Prince Rupert?

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

Does ground type in Prince Rupert affect GPR?

Yes. Thin soils over rock on a steep, rocky harbour setting; aggressive runoff everywhere. GPR performs differently in clay, silt and granular ground, so the survey is adapted to Prince Rupert's conditions — and EM locating covers the metallic and tracer-wired lines regardless of soil.
