Utility Detection Services – Detection and Mapping
Specialized utility equipment is used to detect and map energized utilities below ground.
Our trained and certified operators conduct utility detection services to help detect energized and even energized cables. For an unenergized line, in some conditions, a signal can be added to a utility and traced. Our high-quality equipment, diverse knowledge and experience working in a wide range of environments, and a customer base that consistently recommends our services, make us a leading company in utility detection services.
NOTE: Our utility detection services are offered for utilities not serviced by local utility companies. ANDI DOES NOT offer video inspection of utilities or trace sewer systems. Contact your local utility company for requirements and permissions for detection and mapping of their utilities. In Newfoundland, contact Newfoundland Power.
- Achieve a new level of certainty for detecting utilities including electrical conduit, buried electrical cables, metal pipes, and other conductive materials.
- Locate, map and provide relative depth of detected utilities before digging, cutting or drilling (for utilities not serviced by utility companies)

Utility Detection Services – Locating and Marking
ANDI now offers two distinct but related Utility Detection Services:

Advanced Non-Destructive Inc. (ANDI) continues to offer its utility detection services using the reliable and accurate Ridgid utility detection system.
We are pleased to announce that we have added to our professional utility detection services to offer the 3M Specialized Locating and Marking system, which offers markers that allow detection of non-conductive materials (e.g. PVC, concrete, or fibreglass), non-energized power lines or low power equipment (e.g. communication lines or 12V/24V systems) and make it easier to locate systems in the event of environmental, utility depth and shielding, or the many other conditions can hamper utility detection.
ANDI and 3M will provide you with specialized marker system tape, balls, and tags that are buried with the utilities, it’s as simple as that. Using 3M’s advanced receiver these marker systems can be easily detected many years into the future. Bury it and forget it until you need to know the utility location. When you need it, ANDI can quickly and accurately locate it for you.
Advanced Non-Destructive Inc. (ANDI) is your local supplier, representative, and adviser for 3M marker products. Contact Anthony (Tony) Walsh today for further product information and pricing. Tony will be happy to assist you in determining the type and quantity of 3M marker products you will need for your projects.
