How We Work

How We Scope, Document, and Deliver Every Project

Every project on this page started the same way, with a site address and a scope of work. From there our crews mobilize with electromagnetic locating and GPR equipment, mark findings in the field with color-coded paint, and hand off documentation the project team can act on immediately. The jobs range from ferry facilities and state capitol grounds to apartment properties, school campuses, and rural fiber routes, but the process behind each one stays consistent.

  • Site address and scope of work collected up front, with plans or layout references reviewed before mobilization.
  • Electromagnetic locating and GPR scanning used together to cover metallic and non-metallic utilities.
  • Findings marked in the field using APWA color-coded paint for electric, gas, water, sewer, and communication lines.
  • PDF utility maps and KMZ files delivered for GIS and GPS use, along with site photo documentation.
  • Field verification called out when a line cannot be positively located, so the crew knows where to pothole before digging.

Project FAQs

How Projects Get Scoped, Documented, and Delivered

How do you scope a new project?
Send the site address and a description of the planned work. Most projects start from that alone, though a site plan or layout reference speeds up the visit when one is available. Scope is confirmed before the crew mobilizes so the right equipment and time are on site.
What deliverables come with a completed project?
Every project includes PDF utility maps and KMZ files for GIS and GPS use, plus photo documentation of the marked work area. These are handed off in a format the project team can pass straight to engineers, excavators, or permitting.
What methods are used to locate utilities?
Electromagnetic locating and ground penetrating radar are used together on most projects. EM traces conductive lines like electric, gas, and metallic water and sewer, while GPR fills in non-metallic utilities such as PVC water lines, conduits, and abandoned infrastructure.
How are findings marked in the field?
Utilities are marked with APWA color-coded paint on grass, gravel, concrete, and asphalt, for example orange for proposed excavation and telecom routes, blue for potable water, and red for critical underground paths. Markings follow the same color standard contractors already expect on site.
What happens if a line cannot be located?
If infrastructure is damaged, abandoned, or otherwise not locatable with EM or GPR, that is called out directly in the deliverable rather than guessed at. Additional field verification, including potholing, is recommended before excavation moves through that area.
Do you handle rush or emergency locates?
Yes. When a crew hits an unknown line or work has to stop for an unexpected utility, SiteTwin responds to get a locate done and the site back to work as fast as scheduling allows.
