Locating the Utilities Others Can't Find
Pipe View America specializes in locating underground utilities that are difficult or impossible to identify using conventional locating methods. Through the integration of advanced CCTV inspection, sonde technology, electromagnetic locating, GPS mapping, vacuum excavation, and field investigation techniques, we accurately locate underground infrastructure where traditional utility locating methods fall short.
Sewer Lateral Locating
Pipe View America accurately locates buried sanitary sewer laterals that are often absent from utility maps and cannot be identified through traditional locating methods. Using advanced CCTV equipment equipped with transmitting sondes, we trace lateral alignments from the mainline to the building connection, providing precise location data for engineering, construction, and cross bore mitigation projects.
Utility Verification
When existing records are incomplete or conflicting, our technicians perform comprehensive field verification to confirm utility locations, depths, and alignments. This information provides owners, engineers, and contractors with reliable data before excavation or utility installation begins
Vacuum Excavation Verification
When visual confirmation is required, Pipe View America utilizes non-destructive vacuum excavation to safely expose underground utilities without damaging surrounding infrastructure. Vacuum excavation provides positive identification of utility type, depth, and location while supporting safe construction practices.
Broken Tracer Wire Investigation
Broken or disconnected tracer wires are one of the most common challenges encountered when locating polyethylene (PE) natural gas pipelines. When conventional electromagnetic locating methods fail, our technicians employ specialized field investigation techniques, signal tracing methods, and non-destructive verification to identify tracer wire failures and accurately determine pipeline locations.
Difficult-to-Locate Gas Main Locating
We specialize in locating active and abandoned natural gas mains where traditional locating methods are ineffective. Whether due to damaged tracer wires, incomplete records, multiple utility crossings, or congested utility corridors, our team utilizes multiple locating technologies and investigative methods to accurately identify underground gas infrastructure.
Natural Gas Service Line Locating
Accurate service line locations are essential for construction planning, utility maintenance, and cross bore prevention. Pipe View America locates natural gas service lines to verify alignment, depth, and connection points while supporting safe excavation and utility coordination..
