Utility Line Locating
This is our most common service. When you're starting a construction project, it's a requirement that you must have all underground lines marked before demolition. But sometimes your project just can't wait for the lengthy public utility process to come out and mark everything. That's when you'd call a private utility locating company like Elite to help you. We can get to your property much faster and even provide a more in-depth discovery process to protect you.
Ground Penetrating Radar
Elite's GPR is our best equipment we utilize. It has the ability to find anomalies as deep as 50 feet below surface. It's used for all major utilities, storage tanks, drain fields, and just about anything you need located underground! This technology can also find sewer mains, fiber optic cables, PVC pipes and more. It's extremely accurate on the depth measurements and provides deeper understanding of what's happening under the ground.

Elite's Utility Locating specializes in state of the art locating equipment used to find ALL buried underground utilities. Our radio frequency locators are the best of the best. We offer elite knowledge as well as elite equipment (Vivax, RD, CAT, 810) to ensure your locating needs are met. With a vast variety of equipment, no utility is un-detectable.
