Leveraging ground penetrating radar and electromagnetic equipment, Trinity Subsurface can locate a wide range of objects that should be avoided during construction.

In particularly sensitive areas, or where unlocatable lines are suspected to exist, a slot trench is dug to identify and locate potential conflicts in a non-destructive manner.

Sectional Point Repair is commonly used for sewer pipes that are cracked, fractured, or have offset joints.

Trinity Subsurface has a unique way of locating underground utilities on the private side and we also can verify and locate public utilities if needed.

VPI is required to map out utilities that cannot be traced with concrete scanning alone.

Trinity Subsurface was contracted for the private utility location of a 30” waterline.

The two procedures of underground locating both operate on the electromagnetic spectrum. However, their behavior can be very different.

Water leaks in underground pressurized pipes are commonly found using acoustic leak detection. A pipe under pressure creates vibration and noise that can be detected on the surface.

A relatively quick scan of the concrete prior to cutting can save countless dollars and headaches, and in many cases, even a workers life.
