Safe Ground Disturbance Support for Midstream

Ground disturbance activities within the oil and gas midstream sector carry significant risk. With decades of experience supporting pipeline construction and facility expansions, we ensure all work is performed in full compliance with AER, BCER, and provincial regulations.

Comprehensive Pipeline Sweeping & Locating

Preliminary Utility Locates

Accurate underground data is essential before finalizing route alignment. Our services provide critical utility data for route planning, feasibility assessments, and conflict identification, reducing costly redesigns and unexpected delays.

Depth of Cover (DOC) Surveys

Knowing the precise vertical measurement of buried infrastructure is essential for safe pipeline crossings and HDD operations. We provide reliable vertical data to support regulatory compliance and risk reduction during excavation.

Advanced Multi-Way Sweeps

We specialize in high-accuracy locates across complex project areas, offering 4-way, 7-way, and 10-way pipeline sweeps. Essential for proposed ROW development, access road planning, and logging/clearing operations.

Pre-Construction Staking

Improve safety with verified utility sweeps and physical marking of infrastructure prior to construction. We provide accurate staking of ROW boundaries and crossings to ensure field crews operate with confidence.

Congested Site & Tie-In Management

Specialized coordination for high-risk areas including facility tie-ins and congested utility corridors. Our experience eliminates guesswork in urban and industrial infrastructure zones.

One Call & Coordination

Integrated One Call ticket management, utility owner communication, and locate scheduling. We ensure all regulatory requirements are met while maintaining efficient project timelines.
