Private Underground Utility Locating Services | SoftDig (2024)

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.
