Pipe Tracing & Mapping in North Vancouver

Where pipes go when the drawings are wrong or missing is one of the most common questions in retrofit and infrastructure work. Electromagnetic tracing, sonde-based locating and where applicable tracer-wire methods produce an accurate map of buried piping for as-built documentation. Output is referenced site plans suitable for engineering use, with depth and material annotations where data supports them.
