Know What's Below: Private Utility Locating and GPS Mapping for Carolinas Project Teams

Center Line Locating
May 28, 2026

Surveyors, engineers, and contractors all need the same thing at the start of a project: an honest answer to what's below.

That's what Center Line Locating delivers — private utility locating combined with GPS mapping and documentation that goes straight into your design or construction package.

Field-Verified Utility Data

Records and as-builts are a starting point. They aren't the answer.

Our crews verify utilities in the field using electromagnetic locating, then map what's actually there. The deliverable is data you can plan and build from — not a best guess based on a drawing from twenty years ago.

What's Included

  • Private utility locating using electromagnetic locating methods to identify underground utilities
  • GPS utility mapping with accurate positions for visible and located features
  • Utility verification and documentation — clear, organized records of what's there
  • Utility coordination support for excavation planning and contractor coordination
  • Real-world field experience from crews focused on accuracy and safety

Who It Supports

Surveyors — utility positions that integrate cleanly with topo and boundary work.

Engineers — design-level utility data for site planning, civil work, and SUE-style deliverables.

Contractors — pre-construction utility data that prevents the kind of surprises that stop a project.

What You Get Back

A clear set of field-verified utilities, mapped with GPS, organized into documentation your team can actually use — drawings, exports, and notes that fit how your project is already set up.

Damage Prevention, Built Into the Workflow

Damage prevention is taking any and all jobs, understanding them, whether it’s public or private. It’s our job to understand the project and its goals whether is a commercial property, a residential, or civil. And communicate with our clients as well as utility owners to ensure all facilities are known, found and protected.
