Whom the HDD Services Are For?
Contractors
When building on complex sites where trenching isn’t practical or safe.
Telecommunications Providers
Ideal for laying fiber optic and communication lines across long distances without cutting through pavement.
Environmental & Remediation Projects
For safely navigating under waterways, protected lands, or contaminated zones without surface disturbance.
Highway Projects
When utilities need to pass underneath active rail lines or highways without closing them.
& Developers
For running services (electricity, gas, water) across lots or under roads in residential developments.
Facilities
To install or upgrade buried services on large sites with existing operations and surface obstructions.
Municipalities & Government Agencies
For city infrastructure projects like water mains, sewer lines, and public works.
Companies
For installing underground electrical, water, gas, and fiber optic lines.
Frequently Asked Questions
GPR can detect both metallic and non-metallic utilities, including water lines, sewer pipes, electrical conduits, communication cables, and even underground storage tanks or voids. It’s especially useful when utility depths and materials vary.
GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) provides highly accurate depth and location estimates for underground utilities, helping project teams plan with confidence.
The technology delivers high-resolution subsurface imaging, detecting both metallic and non-metallic utilities to improve safety, reduce risk, and prevent costly mistakes.
Yes. Even if utility maps exist, a GPR survey remains essential because it verifies actual, current conditions. AM Florida Builders emphasizes the need for a layered utility map—created via GPR—to ensure you’re aware of all existing underground infrastructure, thereby minimizing the risk of damaging uncharted utilities during excavation.
GPR enhances directional drilling by providing detailed subsurface imaging and precise utility mapping. This reduces the chance of hitting unknown obstacles, prevents disruptions, and supports safer, more efficient project execution.
AM Florida Builders offers GPR utility locating services for both public and private utilities. This includes:
Locating buried pipes, electrical conduits, water leaks, and other subsurface structures
Supporting construction excavation, maintenance, and utility installation projects
Ensuring compliance with safety regulations and minimizing excavation risks
