The majority of underground utilities are privately owned and will not be marked by calling 811. Blood Hound locates these private utilities, which include septic systems, process sewers, abandoned lines, irrigation lines, alarm wires, and facilities that cannot be located using typical detection methods to prevent costly damages, project delays, and safety risks.
Blood Hound utilizes an array of technologies to integrate layers of GPS-enabled data into accurate 3D maps of subsurface utilities. Our integrative data collection capabilities provide comprehensive resources for preventing damage to subsurface utilities, saving you time and money.
Reconn provides gas and water utilities nationwide with leading-edge solutions for surveying the integrity of their assets and protecting and managing their infrastructure with a focus on regulatory compliance.
With record investment in deploying infrastructure to expand broadband service to communities across the U.S., USIC has teams of technicians designated for performing locating services exclusively for a fiber installation project through its completion. Dedicated locating service increases the rate of daily fiber installation and prevents delays to project timelines required by grant funding.
Blood Hound uses state-of-the-art robotic cameras to inspect sewers and identify and pinpoint pipe integrity issues and confirm cross bores without digging. The precision and efficiency of the process save you time and money on repairs.
Blood Hound provides private utility locating and highly specialized services for preventing damage to underground infrastructure, safety hazards, and project delays.

Private Utility Locating is a service provided by SoftDig® that is called for in situations where "811 One Call" mark-outs will not fully identify all utilities on a site. This is often the case on private property, large industrial facilities, university campuses, or construction sites. Private Utility Locating is requested by contractors prior to excavation, drillers prior to boring deep excavations, and facility managers prior to making improvements on their sites and various other situations.
Most utilities are not laying underground in nice, straight lines. Instead, service requirements and geophysical properties cause various alterations in the course of an underground utility. Some adjustments might be as little as a foot, or they can be drastic changes in direction. The experienced analysts and field technicians of SoftDig® can detect the wide array of variations that may be discovered in the field and provide clients with reliable data.
