Portland Oregon Office

We cover Portland and the surrounding metro for private utility locating. Oregon law requires a locate before excavation, but the one-call system only covers public utilities. Everything private stays unmarked until somebody finds it.

Ground conditions around Portland

Utility density is the main limiting factor on Portland sites. A large number of services in one corridor obstructs signal and makes individual lines harder to separate, particularly in older neighbourhoods where infrastructure has been added to over many decades. Gravel drives and landscaped ground are common on the metro fringe, and walls, foundations and foliage all affect accuracy. Sewer laterals and abandoned lines left in place after replacement are frequent finds.
