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.

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

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