01 / OUR EXPERTISE

Know what’s below.
See the whole picture.

From locating buried utilities to documenting field findings, we help you understand your site and plan the next step.

LOCATEVERIFYDOCUMENT
01 / EM

Electromagnetic utility locating

We trace conductive pipes, cables, and utilities with accessible tracer wires to help establish their routes. Findings are marked at the surface to support planning and coordination.

02 / EXPOSE

Vacuum excavation

We expose utilities at targeted test holes for visual confirmation and depth measurements. This gives your team a clearer understanding of utility position at potential conflict points.

03 / GPR

Ground-penetrating radar

We use GPR to investigate buried utilities, including some non-metallic pipes and conduits. Results depend on soil conditions, utility material, and depth, so GPR complements other locating methods.

04 / CCTV

CCTV pipe inspection

We inspect the interior of accessible storm drains and sewer lines using high-definition cameras. Video helps identify visible cracks, blockages, and other defects to support maintenance and repair planning.

05 / CAD + GIS

Utility depiction drawings

We translate collected utility information into clear CAD or GIS drawings. Known routes, field findings, and areas of uncertainty help your team coordinate design and construction decisions.

06 / REPORTS

Utility reporting

We organize field findings into practical reports covering identified utilities, observed conditions, and available location and depth information. Reports distinguish verified findings from estimates and note investigation limits.

Support beyond the locate.

As-built and redline review, utility reroute planning and estimating, project white lining, 360° and before-and-after site imagery, quality control, safety management, and subcontractor and barrier coordination.

02 / A THOUGHTFUL START

Good projects
start with
better information.

Underground routes aren’t always where you expect them. Take a closer look before the work begins.

01

Start with Texas 811.

Begin the utility notification process before excavation. Visit Texas 811 for current guidance and requirements.

02

Bring in Earth Scout.

Tell us about your site, scope and schedule. We’ll discuss your locating and project support needs.

03

Move forward informed.

Use the site information to coordinate the next steps with your project team.

Earth Scout’s services complement the 811 process; they do not replace it.

03 / ROOTED IN TEXAS
