Private Utility Locating in New Westminster

Private utility locating identifies the buried infrastructure on the client's side of the metre or property line — the work BC One Call does not cover. We combine ground-penetrating radar, electromagnetic locating and sonde-based methods to map every detectable subsurface line. The deliverable is a marked-up site, a referenced map, and confidence metadata about each detection. This is the foundational work behind every safe excavation in a developed area.

What underground leak detection typically finds in New Westminster

Subsurface scanning for City of New Westminster heritage-area projects.

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.
