Utility Locates
Utility Locates Across Ontario
Safe. Accurate. Fast Turnaround. Complete Locating Services has you covered before you dig.
Before any excavation or construction project, knowing exactly what’s underground prevents damage, delays, and costly repairs.
At Complete Locating Services Inc., we provide professional utility locates for contractors, municipalities, and property owners across Ontario. Our trained technicians use advanced detection technology to mark buried lines quickly and accurately—so your crew can dig with confidence.
What is
What Is a Utility Locate?
A utility locate identifies and marks the position of underground utilities, gas, hydro, water, telecom, and fiber, before ground disturbance begins.
Unlike Ontario One Call, which handles public infrastructure, we locate private lines within commercial, residential, and industrial properties.
Process
Our Utility Locating Process
- Assessment: Review site drawings or project plans to determine locate scope.
- Detection: Use electromagnetic (EM) locators and ground penetrating radar (GPR) to trace active and inactive lines.
- Marking: Paint and flag utilities following Ontario Colour Code standards.
- Reporting: Provide a clear field sketch and digital record for your project files.
