Private utility locating in Middletown and southern New Castle County

Trinity Subsurface locates private underground utilities for contractors, engineers and facility owners in Middletown, Bear, Townsend, Odessa, Delaware City and the rest of southern New Castle County, minutes from our Wilmington headquarters. Our technicians find the electric, water, gas, storm, sewer and communication lines that Miss Utility 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 Middletown-area sites need a private locate

Delaware requires excavators to call Miss Utility of Delmarva (811) before digging, but utility owners mark only their own lines, usually up to the meter or property line. Southern New Castle County is one of Delaware's fastest-growing areas, with new subdivisions, schools, warehouses and commercial pads along Route 1 and Route 301. New private services tie into older rural lines that never made it onto a drawing: private water, sewer and electric, irrigation, site lighting and farm-era utilities. They are private, and only a private locator will mark them.
