Lateral Locating & Tracing in Port Moody

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.
