Facility Mapping
DC Locating provides facility mapping for both private and public utilities, delivering every locate with a detailed PDF and live GIS data sent directly to the contractor. We also offer GPS pinpointing to accurately update your GIS and help identify and map previously unknown underground facilities
-
Ground Penetrating Radar
DC Locating offers ground penetrating radar (GPR), a non-invasive technology that uses radar pulses to scan below the surface and detect underground objects, utilities, and structures without digging. It helps identify things like pipes, voids, concrete, and other buried features to improve accuracy and safety before excavation.
About Us
At DC Locating, we specialize in accurate underground utility locating and marking for both 811 services and private utility systems. Our trained technicians use advanced locating equipment to identify and mark buried gas, water, electric, sewer, and communication lines before excavation begins.
In addition to public utility marking through 811, we also locate private underground utilities that are not covered by the system, helping ensure a complete and accurate understanding of what lies below.
We help homeowners, contractors, and utility companies prevent costly damages, maintain safety, and stay compliant with state and federal regulations. Whether it’s a small residential project or a large commercial job, DC Locating delivers reliable, precise, and timely utility marking every time.
