The One-Call Covers Their Lines. Not the Lease's.
Pipeline country runs on a paradox: transmission lines are the best-marked utilities in Texas, while the gathering systems, flowlines, and lease infrastructure around them are among the worst. Crews that treat the 811 response as the whole picture dig into the gap.
Between the wellhead and the transmission line
Texas one-call works well for regulated transmission and distribution. The gap is everything between: gathering systems, flowlines, saltwater lines, and lease service whose operators changed hands five times, whose records live in a filing cabinet in Midland, and whose response to a locate ticket may be nothing at all.
Work in producing regions inherits that gap: road crossings, facility expansions, ROW maintenance, and any excavation on or near legacy lease land.
- Gathering and flowlines outside reliable one-call response
- Abandoned lease infrastructure from prior operators
- Saltwater and disposal lines with fragmented records
- ROW crossings requiring verified clearance
- Facility-adjacent ground dense with private services
A dry-erase map in a field office is not a locate.

Crossings, Facilities, and Legacy Ground
Three places this industry needs locating that the one-call cannot provide.
ROW & Crossing Work
Locating and measured test holes where new construction crosses existing lines, to the clearance standard the easement demands.
Learn more →Facility Sites
Compressor stations, tank batteries, and plant-adjacent ground carry dense private services worth verifying before any dig.
Legacy Lease Land
GPR-led screening for the abandoned infrastructure prior operators left behind, before redevelopment or new construction.

Don't pipeline operators locate their own lines?
Can you verify depth of cover on an existing line?
Do you find abandoned flowlines?
Can you support HDD crossings of live lines?
Do you mobilize to producing regions?
What documentation do you deliver?
Crossing, expanding, or building on lease land?
Send the location and the scope. We will tell you what the one-call will not find there.
Ready to close the gathering gap?
Send the site or crossing location, the work planned, and the clearance requirements. We will scope locating and verification to match.
