Existing underground infrastructure networks can be difficult to understand. On a global basis, complex pipe and cable systems are continuously growing, making it more crucial than ever to discover their exact locations. Accurate and reliable information is necessary for both existing asset protection as well as planning for future development of our under ground infrastructure.

Different techniques and tools must be used to uncover underground utilities depending on the environmental factors and project requirements. There are numerous technologies available for the detection of buried utilities. Electro Magnetic Induction (EML) and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) are the two main methods utilized for non-destructive utility detection.
