Private utility locating in Chester County

Trinity Subsurface locates private underground utilities for contractors, engineers and facility owners across Chester County, from Malvern, Exton and West Chester to Phoenixville, Downingtown, Coatesville and Kennett Square. Our technicians find the electric, water, gas, storm, sewer and communication lines that PA One Call does not mark, using electromagnetic (EM) equipment and ground penetrating radar (GPR), mark them in paint and flags, and deliver a field sketch within 24 hours.

  • Utility Locating: Our team offers full service utility locating for your site that goes beyond 811 services that only locate public utilities. Protecting all of the utilities at your site is crucial prior to excavation, installation, boring or drilling. We use a combination of electromagnetic (EM) scanning, ground penetrating radar (GPR) and additional technologies to mark and map out existing utility lines. We provide high-accuracy with detailed maps and notes. Prevent damages, save time, and avoid unexpected costs.
  • Utility Mapping: Our team provides maps in a variety of formats, including PDFs, KMZ and CAD files. In addition, we can capture accurate GIS data points of underground utilities that can be integrated into existing data sets for improved project planning, communication and facility management.

Why Chester County sites need a private locate

PA One Call (811) notifies utility owners, but they mark only their own lines, usually up to the meter or property line. Chester County mixes corporate campuses along Route 202, fast-growing residential and mixed-use development, and farmland and mushroom-growing operations around Kennett Square. Behind the meter, those sites carry private electric and site lighting, irrigation, private wells and septic, and old farm services that never made it onto a drawing. They are private, and only a private locator will mark them.
