Private Utility Locating in New Westminster

Public utility locates cover only the public-owned portion of buried infrastructure. Everything on private property — water lines from the meter, gas lines past the meter, irrigation, drainage, septic, private hydro, fibre, communication — is your responsibility to identify before excavation. Our private utility locating combines ground-penetrating radar, electromagnetic locating, and where applicable sondes and tracer wires to map every detectable subsurface line. Deliverables include site marks, photo documentation and a referenced map for the project file. We do this work routinely for general contractors, electrical contractors, plumbers, landscape architects and homeowners across Greater Vancouver.

New Westminster's built environment — heritage Queens Park homes, ageing concrete towers along the river, Sapperton's mix of healthcare and residential, modern Quayside mid-rises — shapes how private utility locating is delivered locally. BC's oldest city has a deep stock of heritage homes (Queens Park, the West End) alongside ageing river-edge concrete towers and modern mid-rise Quayside developments. Heritage plumbing realities and ageing tower envelope failures dominate the workload.
