Private Utility Locating also referred to as Subsurface Utility Exploration (SUE) is a critical service for projects that require accurate knowledge of underground utilities. Unlike One-Call Locating, which relies on existing utility maps or records, private locating goes a step further to address the significant gaps in utility mapping. Many underground utilities are either not accurately documented or are missing entirely from public records. In these cases, simply relying on surface-level data can lead to costly errors and/or project delays. This is when experience and equipment matter.  Accurately locating utilities in these complex situations requires specialized knowledge, diverse field experience, and proficiency in using a range of advanced locating technologies.
