Electricians can benefit from using Precise Locate Inc. on any project outside or inside under concrete when there is a repair or replacement project, or additional line installment. We use the latest technology for finding electrical faults.  If a wire or insulation, has been nicked either during the placement or on some other excavation project the wire tends to corrode and may cause a fault along the line causing the breaker to trip.  Sometimes this only happens when there has been a lot of ground saturation from rain or snow.

Using our fault finding machine and experience we can trace the damaged electrical line out then send a high voltage charge energizing the cable causing it to leak out electricity in the exact area where the insulation has been broken. By finding this location, and after we locate any and all other utilities surrounding the damage area, excavating the  buried electrical line may begin safely to expose it, repair it, and restore power making the customer happy.

Precise Locate Inc. has the experience and tools for any electrical job. We can even find damaged invisible dog fencing wiring or other pet containment systems where the lines are damaged so they may be repaired. Just plugging a yard can cause damage to these lines because they are only to be buried no more than 3 inches deep.

We use Radio conductive and Inductive Locating equipment, as we as  Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) to provide precise & accurate utility locating services including: utility design & remodeling services, construction design services, positive utility location services for engineering (Civil, Utility & Consulting), fault finding in electrical cables & underground shorts, new construction utility location services, infastructure services and water and piping location services.

Some residential, industrial, commercial sites may have long runs of large electrical wiring feeding buildings and structures long distances from their source. Ordering these long runs of wire may take some time just to get in. Using the fault finder and Precise Locate Inc., we may assist you in getting the damages power cable back up and working, saving the customer time and money by continuing their production.

Here is another benefit you can have by using our capabilities. Lots of times when newly constructed buildings are built, and parking lots have been asphalted pipes stubbed out for future use will be covered over and indications of their whereabouts may be lost. Using our skills and tools we can locate, trace, and mark these empty conduits to their ends so you the electrical contractor can go right to the end, expose the buried utility pipe and finish what was planned without spending extra unnecessary time digging everywhere looking for the end of the pipe. This is a common thing we do to assist in completing electrical service for street lighting, telephone, fiber optic placement, control wiring or other underground project.

As well as locating faults and empty conduits, we can save the contractor or owner a lot of expensive repairs, by providing accurate utility locations of their private utilities and public utilities. By precisely tracing and marking any and all underground utilities on an installation project, giving the depths of these buried lines, an excavator knows exactly what path he wants to take before he starts and work safely knowing that we have made all the underground lifelines of a building or property visible above ground by marking the lines their proper utility color, we have saved time, and money. Repair costs of underground utilities can be expensive. Not only has a line been damaged in one area and may be repaired or spliced at the spot it was hit, but the integrity of the utility has now been compromised as it was intact and a complete undamaged run of cable upon its first installation. Some places will require a complete new line be replaced. When you talk of Fiber optic Cable that repair or replacement may break a contractor and for sure cause their insurance rates to go off the charts.

When you need to locate buried private or public underground utilities and make necessary repairs on electrical lines, please think of Precise Locate Inc. for your next project as we may be able to save a lot of time, money, and certainly frustration.
