Environmental Locating Services (Phase I, II & III ESAs)
Environmental Locating Support Across Alberta, BC & Saskatchewan
We provide professional environmental locating services to support Phase I, Phase II, and Phase III Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs) across Western Canada.
With decades of experience supporting the oil & gas and environmental consulting industries, we have developed strong relationships within the environmental conservation sector. Our team delivers accurate subsurface utility locating to support environmental investigations, remediation programs, groundwater monitoring, and well site abandonment projects throughout Alberta, British Columbia, and Saskatchewan.
Our locating services help environmental professionals complete field programs safely, efficiently, and in compliance with regulatory standards including CCME, AEPA Tier 1 & Tier 2, AER, and BCER requirements.
Comprehensive Environmental Locating Expertise
Phase II Soil Assessment Locating
We provide precision locating services to support intrusive soil sampling programs during Phase II Environmental Site Assessments. By accurately clearing borehole and test pit locations, we ensure investigations are conducted safely without damaging high-pressure pipelines, shallow utility headers, or buried infrastructure.
Our swept-area locating supports compliance with CCME and AEPA Tier 1 & Tier 2 environmental protocols.
Well Site Abandonment Locating
We support AER and BCER regulated well site abandonment and decommissioning programs. Our team specializes in locating and verifying buried infrastructure prior to excavation.
This includes locating cut and capped wellheads, flowlines, legacy pipelines, rig anchors, and other decommissioned facilities.
Site Reclamation & Remediation Support
Accurate subsurface data is essential when returning industrial land to productive use. We support site reclamation and remediation projects by locating buried waste, sumps, and underground infrastructure.
Our services assist in defining boundaries for Remedial Action Plans (RAPs) and support obtaining Reclamation Certificates in Alberta and Saskatchewan.
Groundwater Monitoring & Water Well Installation
Protecting groundwater resources is a priority across Western Canada. We provide swept-area utility clears for monitoring well installations, piezometers, and nested groundwater well systems.
Our locating ensures environmental monitoring wells are safely installed away from active utilities and buried infrastructure.
Environmental Recovery Well Installations
Our team provides ground disturbance coordination for environmental recovery systems, including groundwater recovery wells and vapour extraction points.
We work closely with drilling contractors to establish safe drilling zones for permanent environmental monitoring infrastructure.
Geotechnical Borehole Locating
Before construction or infrastructure development begins, geotechnical investigations must be completed safely. We provide locating support for foundation testing, pipeline crossings, and facility development projects.
Our services ensure borehole locations are clear of underground obstructions, protecting equipment and buried assets.
Access Roads & Work Area Locating
In remote terrain, safe access is critical. We perform swept-area locating for access roads, heavy equipment pads, staging areas, and temporary work zones.
This helps identify buried flowlines, cables, and infrastructure that may be impacted by heavy equipment loads.
Environmental Borehole Layout Services
We help translate environmental site plans into accurate field layouts. Our team assists in laying out borehole grids based on Phase I ESA findings.
This ensures sampling points are strategically positioned to target Areas of Potential Environmental Concern (APECs).
