Services in Prince George & Northern BC

PCI Surveys provides the following services in Prince George and surrounding Northern BC project areas.

Private Line Locating in Prince George

Private line locating is one of the main services PCI Surveys provides in Prince George and Northern BC. Public utility locates may not cover privately owned underground services after the property line, inside industrial sites, on private land, around buildings or within project limits. PCI Surveys helps identify and mark private utilities before excavation, drilling, trenching, grading, fencing, landscaping or construction work begins. Private underground utilities may include gas, power, communications, water, sewer, storm, irrigation, lighting, process lines, unknown buried services and other site utilities. When site drawings are missing or incomplete, PCI Surveys can combine locating methods with GPR and survey support to help reduce uncertainty before ground disturbance.

GPR Scanning and Utility Investigation

Ground penetrating radar can be useful for locating or investigating underground utilities, buried structures, concrete, voids and other subsurface features. GPR is often used when utility records are incomplete, when unknown lines may be present or when a project requires more information before excavation, coring, drilling or construction. GPR performance depends on soil conditions, surface conditions, depth, material type and site access. PCI Surveys uses GPR as part of a practical site investigation approach and can combine it with electromagnetic locating, visual inspection, available plans and survey measurements where appropriate.
