Line Locating

• Using available maps can assist in the efficiency of the locates, and we use any info available, such as EGIS and ABADATA.
  
• Procedures in place help assure that unknown facilities are found, even if their origin or purpose is unknown.
  
• Different brands of locators have certain strengths and weaknesses, as do different frequencies in different situations. Flexible, adaptable equipment is critical to competently deal with all the different situations that can arise in the field. That is why we continually try the newest locator technology available to assure that we have the best equipment available on the market.
  
• Work is commonly done for environmental reclamation work, new pipeline and power cable installations, service rig anchor installation, site construction for new well drilling, seismic operations, and road construction.

 

GPS Map Making

• We use map grade GPS units, the Trimble GeoXT, to gather data on the locates we complete with sub-meter accuracy.
  
• GPS can be used for many different purposes, including lease boundaries, flow line mapping, as-built diagrams for battery sites, area analysis, and environmental impact analysis.
  
• Overhead satellite imagery can be integrated as well, providing an above ground context for the underground facilities.
  
• Pipeline analysis for repairs, such as fibreglass inserts in steel flow lines, can help save time and money when major inflection points may be identified before work begins.

 

Anchor Truck

• Our 1 ton 4X4 anchor truck is fully equipped with line locator.
  
• We install anchors for service rigs, drilling rigs, flare stacks, temporary pump-jacks, as well as bins and trailers. If you don’t want it to blow away, or walk away, then anchor it down!
  
• Post Hole drilling for electrical controllers or fencing.
  
• Soil testing for gas migration testing on well abandonments, or environmental testing.
