The document outlines the process and importance of utility mapping using advanced technologies like electromagnetic locating equipment and ground penetrating radar. It emphasizes the risks associated with unmarked or inaccurately mapped utilities, including financial loss and safety hazards. Advanced Infrastructure Mapping, LLC offers professional services to ensure timely and accurate utility location while adhering to industry standards.

1. Utility Mapping and Its
Uses

2. After carefully collecting utility information using electromagnetic locating
equipment, ground penetrating radar (GPR), and locating sondes.

3. The Underground Detective can use the newest generation in mapping
devices designed for Geographic Information System (GIS) to collect your
valuable utility data.
We can then provide to you a map, shape files, Auto CADD, or provide other
digital formats that outline and define where utilities are located.

4. If they exist at all, underground utility maps are correct. Sometimes utility
pipes or cables are relocated during repairs and renovations, but maps are
rarely updated.

5. Maps signify projected plans
that don’t show as-built
locations.
Sometimes, old maps are
simply lost and forgotten until
a project comes up in which
they are needed.

6. After the utilities have been located, they are marked using color-
coded pavement paint as well as color-coded flagging.
Have you ever pulled into a parking lot or a gas station and noticed
the lot is spray painted with assorted colors?
Have you ever driven through a neighbourhood and noticed a yard
with many small, colored flags throughout it?
Those markings are utilities that have been mapped out and located!

7. The result of digging or drilling in the presence of unidentified,
unmarked, unmapped, or incorrectly located utilities can be
wasted excavation time and money, can cause expensive damage,
create utility outages, and worst of all, could potentially inflict
personal injury or death.

9. 1. Capturing Utilities: water and gas pipes, electrical and communication
lines
2. Capturing Irrigation Information: pipes, sprinklers, valves, controllers,
and irrigated areas
3. Site Plans: buildings, evacuation points, emergency info, fire hydrants ,
and chemical storage areas
