Comprehensive Underground Utility Locating Services
Based out of Charleston, SC and serving all of South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia. We also provide services to Northern Florida, Southern Virginia, and Eastern Tennessee upon request. West locating Service specializes in underground utility locating using cutting-edge technology such as electromagnetic locating, ground-penetrating radar, and GPS mapping. From locating metal valves and storm drains to natural gas and electrical services, we deliver precise results with unmatched accuracy.
Specialized Expertise
Our team of skilled technicians excels at detecting non-metallic pipes and objects using ground-penetrating radar. We have extensive expertise protecting non-conductive lines to prevent costly damages. Our experienced technicians deploy GPR to trace and mark even these otherwise invisible subsurface utilities.
Understanding
Utility Location
Utility location requires identifying and marking underground utilities, including telecommunications, electricity, natural gas, water systems, wastewater pipes, communication lines, storm drains, and more. Before digging, it is essential to identify, mark, and map all vital infrastructure. This not only prevents damage to critical utilities, it helps to keep communities and personnel safe.

Advanced Detection and Location Techniques
Locating underground utilities requires specialized methods tailored to the type of infrastructure. For metal pipes and cables, electromagnetic equipment with a transmitter and receiver is commonly used. Plastic or concrete pipes, however, require advanced ground-penetrating radar or other radio location technologies. Accurate technical detection is essential, as maps often lack the precision required for safe clearance. This issue is particularly prevalent in older cities, where maps may be outdated or nonexistent.
