Private utility locating and GPR services for safer project decisions

Each service is organized around the finding, record, and project decision it supports. EM locating complements GPR and concrete scanning when the site and infrastructure call for it.

Private and public utility marking answer different questions.

An 811 ticket is still legally required before digging. Public one-call systems mark publicly owned lines; private utility locating addresses privately owned infrastructure and the documentation a project team needs. Learn more about the difference between private locating and 811.

Built on knowing.

SafeLine started with the recognition that the consequences of uncertainty are serious, especially underground. The idea was to bring engineering firm-level documentation into a space that had long been treated as a hands-on field service: a specialist, not just a service.

Vision
To protect people, projects, and infrastructure.
Mission
To become the standard in utility locating.
  • Purpose
  • Integrity
  • Transparency

We work to protect what matters most: people, projects, timelines, and the success built around them.

Plan a Subsurface Investigation

Tell SafeLine where the project is, what work is planned, and what the project team needs to know before excavation, drilling, or construction begins.
