Private utility locating in Sussex County

Trinity Subsurface locates private underground utilities for contractors, engineers and facility owners across Sussex County, from Lewes, Rehoboth Beach and Milton to Georgetown, Millsboro, Seaford and the communities around the Inland Bays. 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 Sussex County 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. Sussex County's fast resort and residential growth, poultry and agricultural processing sites, and shore communities with sandy soils and high water tables leave a lot unmarked past that point: private water and sewer laterals, irrigation, site lighting, community amenity feeds and abandoned services. They are private, and only a private locator will mark them.
