Before you break ground for a new commercial structure or residential development, or extend electrical, water or gas lines into a new area, you need to accurately locate buried utilities.
An object of the present invention is to provide an improved method to identify the leakage position in the buried gas conduit. the location of the gas leakage 22 in the conduit 12 of the A buried utility gas, detected by infer the presence of gas 18 in above or below the surface 14 ...

Call the local authority to locate buried power lines and septic systems before you dig. Do not drive heavy machinery (like a cement mixer) over the buried lines. Carefully follow the pier placement and hole depth/width outlined in the engineering report. Create a temporary lumber substructure...
With ground-mounted photovoltaics, you must build a standalone metal foundation consisting of posts buried at least 18” deep into concrete footings. Once you place the posts in the concrete, allow it to set for a week before you attach your racking rails. You must also bury your wiring und...
