Lateral Locating & Tracing in Coquitlam

Many sewer laterals connect to mains in unrecorded locations, or the records show one thing and the pipe goes another. Lateral locating and tracing combines sonde-equipped CCTV, surface electromagnetic tracing, and where needed sonar/probe methods to map the actual path of laterals from building to main. Output is a referenced site plan suitable for civil engineering review.

Lateral failures and root intrusion in older Maillardville and Como Lake neighbourhoods.

Coquitlam's built environment — hillside single-family, growing tower district at Coquitlam Centre, large newer townhouse developments on Burke Mountain — shapes how lateral locating & tracing is delivered locally. Coquitlam's terrain — steep slopes off Burke Mountain and Eagle Ridge, watercourses, heavy winter rain — means drainage and seepage problems are common, and underground service mapping on hillside properties is rarely straightforward.
