Utility Locating for Safer Environmental Borings
When it comes to environmental investigations, boring operations are a critical part of evaluating subsurface soil, groundwater, and contamination levels. At Elite Scanning Group, we provide essential utility locating services using GPR to ensure that soil borings, monitoring well installations, and other environmental fieldwork can proceed safely and efficiently.
The Purpose of Environmental Borings
Environmental borings are commonly used to:
Characterize subsurface soil and groundwater conditions
Support environmental site assessments
Evaluate potential contamination from past industrial or fuel storage activities
Prepare for monitoring well installations
Why Utility Locating is Crucial
Before any boring or drilling takes place, it’s essential to know what utilities lie beneath the surface. Elite Scanning Group's GPR utility locating helps environmental teams:
Identify and avoid underground utilities (electric, water, sewer, telecom)
Prevent line strikes, safety incidents, and project delays
Confirm suitable boring locations to meet regulatory and design requirements
We map utilities in both horizontal and vertical orientations to provide a complete understanding of the subsurface environment, helping environmental consultants avoid costly and dangerous surprises.
Supporting All Drilling Methods
Our locating services are compatible with:
Direct Push Drilling (hydraulic probing for continuous soil samples)
Hollow-Stem Auger (auger flights for deeper sampling and well installations)
Rotary Drilling (for deeper or specialized boreholes)
Elite Scanning Group ensures safe access to boring locations, including interior spaces, paved areas, and tight utility corridors.
