Underground Utility Locating

Quark Scan Inc. has extensive experiences in utility locating projects of all sizes, and specializes in industrial and commercial sites where complex underground utility situations often challenge skills of utility locators. Our utility locators have solid background in geophysics and have thorough understandings of advantages and limitations of all kinds of locating techniques. We often succeed where others fail.

Concrete Scanning

Drilling, coring, or saw cutting but concerned about utilities embedded in concrete? Don't just call a company because they provide GPR scanning services, give us a call for a comprehensive scanning! Our experts in geophysics not only use GPR, but also utilize state-of-art pipe/cable locators and Cable Avoidance Technology (C.A.T.). Besides locating steel and PVC electrical conduits, we also locate other utilities embedded in or below concrete slabs, even direct buried electrical/communication cables. In addition, we can also locate post-tension cables, rebar, and mesh when needed.

Underground Storage Tank Locating

While some underground storage tanks can be easily identified and located through record searching and visual inspection, others can be hidden underground without showing any indications of their existences. We use a set of tools including ground penetrating radar for UST locating and we have located many USTs, often to the surprise of our clients.

Ground Penetrating Radar Services

We provide ground penetrating radar (GPR) services to locate varieties of subsurface targets such as underground utilities, underground storage tanks, old building foundations, septic systems, underground voids, conduits embedded in concrete, etc.

Geophysical Services

We utilize varieties of geophysical techniques to delineate subsurface conditions and locate buried targets. Geophysical surveys are non-destructive and they can provide valuable subsurface information for decision making about your construction, engineering or environmental projects. Our geophysical techniques include ground penetrating radar (GPR), electromagnetic induction (EMI), electrical resistivity imaging (ERI), and seismic refraction, to name a few.

Why Choose Us

Our line of work is highly technical and demands proper education. If our field is the medical field, you'll find there are too many nurses forced to do doctors' work in our field, creating all sorts of problems. The reason for this problem is simple: there aren't enough doctors out there in this fast-growing industry. To become highly competent in underground utility locating and other geophysical surveys, a proper education, or at least a proper attitude toward education, is essential. It often determines the highest level you can reach, no matter how much training and experience you have. In Quark Scan, our field work is always performed/led by personnel who value education and are serious about this career.

Pricing

Our prices are competitive and fair. There are no surprise bills. Any unexpected or additional expenses must be pre-approved by you. That’s how we would like to be treated, and that is how our clients are treated.
