Private utility locating in the Lehigh Valley

Trinity Subsurface's Allentown office serves Lehigh and Northampton counties, including Allentown, Bethlehem and Easton, and north to the I-80 corridor. We locate the private electric, water, gas, storm, sewer and communication lines that PA One Call does not mark, using electromagnetic (EM) equipment and ground penetrating radar (GPR). We 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 Lehigh Valley sites need a private locate

Pennsylvania's One Call law requires anyone digging to notify PA One Call (811) at least three business days before excavation. But utility owners only mark their own lines, typically up to the meter or property line. On the Lehigh Valley's warehouse and distribution sites, college campuses and older industrial properties, the lines past that point are often undocumented: site lighting, private water and fire services, storm laterals, and feeds between buildings. They're private, so only a private locator will mark them.
