Salmon Arm Locating FAQ

How is utility locating done in Salmon Arm?

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

Does ground type in Salmon Arm affect GPR?

Yes. Lakeshore silt and wetland soils with a high water table near the foreshore; benches of till above. GPR performs differently in clay, silt and granular ground, so the survey is adapted to Salmon Arm's conditions — and EM locating covers the metallic and tracer-wired lines regardless of soil.
