Company Summary

Since 2001, we have been the nation's premier private underground utilities detection and concrete structures scanning company, with technicians permanently based in nearly every major market in the United States.

The services of our highly trained and skilled technicians are valued by our customers because we are reliable, safety-conscious, professional and effective, and utilize the best technology.

We understand you're on a tight schedule and that you want to avoid budget overruns that can occur if subsurface issues emerge. Everything we do - from start to finish - is focused on getting the answers you need to complete your project on time and on budget.

The GPRS difference is displayed on every jobsite whereby our Project Managers combine the latest in subsurface target detection technologies with years of training and experience. This combination results in onsite service excellence providing you with subsurface solutions.

Utility Locating

To ensure the overall, timely success of the job, utility detection is critical to any construction project where subsurface excavation is planned. If ignored, budget overruns can multiply, your schedule can turn chaotic, and there's the risk of injuries taking place on your jobsite.

The standard is one-call utility locating, a state­operated public service that is required for every project. However, the scope of this service can be limited. To achieve the complete success you are looking for you'll want to connect with an expert private service provider like GPRS.

To provide the most comprehensive picture of existing subsurface utilities on your jobsite, GPRS deploys a highly trained and professional Project Manager. The Project Manager executes a multi-step process utilizing ground penetrating radar and other electromagnetic technologies to identify the location of known and unknown subsurface utilities and infrastructure. We are able to offer critical information regarding the horizontal and vertical location of almost any major utility found on your project.

History of Performance

With new-build construction and renovation projects, the likelihood of needing to cut or core a concrete slab is high. This means there is inherent risk of striking rebar, electrical and communications conduits, and post tension cables during the cutting, coring or drilling process. The cost of such mistakes can be high. Unreasonable constraints on already thin budgets can occur, as well as infusing havoc into your schedule and creating a safety hazard for your employees.
