Did you know that Enhanced Scanning completes utility locating projects in Denver? With our new location in Colorado Springs, we can serve the needs of property owners, contractors, engineers, municipalities, and other organizations throughout the Greater Denver area.
Whether you’re preparing for excavation, construction, landscaping, utility installation, or another project that involves disturbing the ground, knowing what is beneath the surface is essential. Professional utility locating services in Denver can help identify underground infrastructure before work begins, reducing the risk of costly utility strikes, project delays, property damage, and injuries.
Partnering with Enhanced Scanning for All Your Scanning Needs in Denver
Do you work for a company or organization that regularly needs utility locating services in Denver? We’d love to talk with you about our capabilities. You may find that Enhanced Scanning can replace the services of multiple companies you are currently using, giving you a single resource for a variety of scanning and inspection needs.
In addition to utility locating services in Denver, we offer concrete scanning, holistic concrete structural analysis, drone services for project documentation and monitoring, UAV inspections, and more. This range of services can be particularly valuable for contractors, engineers, property managers, municipalities, and other organizations managing complex projects.
Our team has the equipment and expertise needed to investigate a wide range of subsurface and structural conditions. We’re also easy to reach, and depending on project requirements and scheduling, we can typically get to a property within a day or two.
Supplementing Colorado 811 Service
You’re probably already familiar with Colorado 811, which provides a valuable public service by locating public utility lines before excavation. However, Colorado 811 has limitations that every property owner, contractor, and project manager should understand.
For many projects, an 811 locate is an important first step, but it may not provide all the information you need to safely plan and complete your work. That’s where professional utility locating services in Denver like Enhanced Scanning can provide an important supplement.
First and foremost, Colorado 811 generally identifies public utility infrastructure within the scope of its service, but it does not locate every privately owned or secondary utility line on a property. For example, secondary lines running to detached buildings or solar systems may not be included. Private infrastructure such as propane gas lines, septic lines, and landscape plumbing may also fall outside the scope of a standard 811 locate. Old or abandoned lines can present additional challenges and may not be identified through the standard process.
This distinction is especially important on larger properties or properties with extensive improvements. A commercial site, for example, may have multiple structures, parking areas, irrigation systems, electrical connections, and other underground infrastructure that is not fully represented by public utility markings.
Another important consideration is depth. An 811 locate primarily tells you where marked utilities are located; it does not necessarily provide the detailed depth information you may need for excavation or other subsurface work. Understanding both the horizontal location and approximate depth of underground features can help contractors and property owners make better-informed decisions about where and how to work.
Get a More Complete Picture of What’s Underground
When you need information beyond what a standard 811 locate can provide, Enhanced Scanning can help. We have multiple scanning technologies at our disposal, allowing us to select the appropriate equipment based on the conditions and requirements of your project.
Our capabilities include ground penetrating radar (GPR), electromagnetic frequency (EMF) locating, sewer push cameras, magnetometers, and other technologies. Using the right combination of tools allows us to investigate subsurface conditions and provide valuable information about underground utilities and other features.
The right approach depends on the property and the project. That’s why having an experienced scanning company assess your needs can be so valuable. Rather than relying on a single technology for every situation, our team can determine which tools are most appropriate for the conditions we encounter.
Enhanced Scanning can also be a useful resource when your project requires more than basic utility locating services in Denver. If you need concrete scanning, structural analysis, drone documentation, UAV inspections, or related services, our team can help you address multiple project requirements through one company.
Some of our customers eventually decide to use Enhanced Scanning as their primary resource for locating and scanning because we can often respond quickly and provide the additional information their projects require. This isn’t a knock on Colorado 811—they provide a valuable service to property owners and contractors. Rather, 811 and professional scanning services serve different purposes, and some projects benefit from using both.
