Environmental Products and Services of Vermont recently needed to complete a job to determine if soil had been contaminated at a Windsor, New York gas station. In order to complete the search they had to excavate on the property. Before the digging began they wanted to make certain they would not be destroying any underground utilities in the area. EPS of Vermont had heard of Ground Penetrating Radar Systems, LLC, and new they could x-ray beneath the surface to find the lines. When they called the technician that covered the Binghamton area they were pleased to hear he was available to complete the project the very next day.

Jim Bell of the Upstate, NY office mobilized to the site and began marking out all of the utilities that were located in the area the digging would take place. In addition to finding underground utilities, and storage tanks, Ground Penetrating Radar Systems has the ability to locate and map out rebar, post-tension and conduit prior to saw cutting and trenching, and in some cases unmarked graves.

Private Utility Locators are pleased to announce the opening of an Upstate, NY office servicing the Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Ithaca, Binghamton and Albany areas.
