Where We Work

Texas Service Areas

Ground conditions shift across Texas, from limestone and karst in Central Texas to expansive clay in North Texas to soft, saturated soil along the Gulf Coast. SiteTwin adjusts the locating approach city by city.

Austin

Austin and the surrounding Hill Country sit on limestone bedrock, and karst features, shallow rock, and void pockets complicate excavation across the metro. SiteTwin runs electromagnetic locating and GPR scanning to map buried utilities and flag subsurface anomalies before crews break ground.

Dallas

Dallas sits on Blackland Prairie clay that expands and contracts with the seasons, shifting buried lines away from their recorded depth and location. SiteTwin locates private utilities and runs GPR scanning across Dallas's congested urban corridors, redevelopment sites, and commercial projects.

Houston

Houston's Gulf Coast clay, high water table, and ongoing ground subsidence make utility depth and location harder to predict than the original plans suggest. SiteTwin combines EM locating with GPR scanning to work through soft, saturated soil conditions across commercial, industrial, and infrastructure sites.

Fort Worth

Fort Worth shares the same Blackland Prairie clay belt that runs through North Texas, where seasonal ground movement and congested downtown utility corridors make locating harder the closer you get to the urban core. SiteTwin provides private utility locating and GPR scanning for contractors and project teams across Tarrant County.

San Antonio

San Antonio sits over the Edwards Aquifer recharge zone, where shallow limestone and karst voids create unpredictable subsurface conditions for excavation. SiteTwin runs EM locating and GPR scanning to map private utilities and flag void risk before contractors dig.

Statewide FAQs

Texas Service Area FAQs

Which cities does SiteTwin serve?
SiteTwin provides private utility locating and GPR scanning across Austin, Dallas, Houston, Fort Worth, San Antonio, and the surrounding areas throughout Texas.
Does 811 cover private utility locating?
No. Texas 811 generally marks utilities owned by participating utility providers up to the ownership boundary or meter. Private utility systems typically require private utility locating services.
Can GPR locate non-metallic utilities?
Ground penetrating radar can often identify non-metallic utilities including PVC water lines, conduits, and abandoned infrastructure, depending on soil conditions, depth, and congestion.
What deliverables come with a locate?
Depending on project scope, deliverables can include PDF utility maps, KMZ exports, and GPS/GIS-compatible documentation your team can hand straight to the crew.
How quickly can a project be scheduled?
Scheduling depends on project scope, traffic control requirements, access conditions, and workload, but many projects across our Texas service areas can be mobilized same day or next day.
Is potholing still required after locating?
For critical crossings, high-risk excavation, or exact depth verification requirements, potholing or vacuum excavation remains the definitive verification method before digging.
