Large-scale excavation comes with large-scale risk. UTIL Locators provides professional Commercial Private Utility Locating Services in Indiana to help contractors, construction managers, and developers identify underground utilities before excavation begins.

What Is Commercial Private Utility Locating?

Commercial private utility locating is the process of identifying privately owned underground utilities on commercial job sites that are not covered by 811.

Public utility marking services do not typically identify:

  • Private water lines

  • Sewer laterals

  • Gas lines beyond the meter

  • Electrical feeds after service connection

  • Communication lines on private property

 

 

Our utility locating service ensures that all underground utilities are evaluated before trenching, grading, boring, or foundation work begins.
